re: Mark Ingram to Ravens 3 yr 15 mill. (declined Saints 4.5 APY)

Ingram thought he was getting significantly more and balked at the Saints' offer. They moved on to ensure they didn't get screwed. Once the market was set, Ingram's nice $6-7+ Million/year offers went away from the Jets and Ravens said, we'll offer $5 million/per.

This is all on Ingram, and I honestly think the Saints got the better end of the deal. Ingram is extremely overrated by many on this board and his locker room presence and antics weren't something that always helped this team.

Oh and he was such a team player that he cheated and got caught putting his team in a horrid position at the start of last season and then immediately went on a rant about getting paid.

Saints did the right thing here. Got a better pass blocker, likely equivalent runner and receiver. Murray may end up better than Ingram.
