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.



Murray's deal is probably realistically like 3 yrs for 9-10

Only thing I can think of is there are a good bit more in guarantees through the 3 years for Ingram.

And with the Saints signing Murray, Baltimore had no one to bid against, and Ingram had no one to meet his (reported) demand.

It's quite possible Ingram signed for less than what he wanted from NOLA, so let's not just assume the Saints could have signed him for the same amount. FA moves fast, and the team appeared to have acted decisively for whatever reason.

That said, it's disappointing the two sides couldn't agree given his importance to the team, locker room presence, and chemistry with Kamara and others.
