Former Saints’ RB Mark Ingram intends to sign a three-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens, per @diannaESPN and me.

If that is it, then why didn't he come back to NOLA? We gave $14.4m to Murray which is a good signing but it's only $1.4m difference.

Obviously last years suspension created a rift between him and the FO. That's got to be the only explanation if the numbers are all true.

We must have preferred Murray or his initial asking price was too high

You have to wonder if the Saints and Jets signing others maybe lowered his leverage.

I'm happy for Mark and that's actually a great deal for him and the Ravens but wtf Saints? There's no excuse we couldn't have just slapped a Franchise Tag on him or just straight up offer the same deal.

Now I'm more pissed about the NFC Title game. Ingram deserved a damn ring before he left

We killed his leverage!
Optics look bad but it is what it is.

If I had to guess, the difference was in guaranteed money

Need teams bidding against each other.

He obviously didn’t have that.

Strange if true.

Is it possible his dumbass exaggerated the ravens offer hoping for a better counter offer and then got stuck with the ravens?
