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

It is 100% this.


The market came in way short of what he anticipated. Murray did well to get in when he did or he would have gotten less as well.


Plus, Ingram has A LOT of miles on those tires.

That was always going to hurt his value whether he wanted to admit it or not.

He did end up in a good spot though. Ravens have been missing a solid back and he doesn’t want to play second fiddle to Kamara.

I see no losers in this deal for either team or player, although Ingram may end up realizing Kamara was probably a good thing for his career long term. He may regret it after he’s beat to hell in a couple years.

But he got what he wanted now, hope he’s up to the task.
