The Ravens will sign running back Mark Ingram, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. When finalized, it’ll be a three-year, $15MM pact.
Ingram was displaced this week when the Saints agreed to sign Latavius Murray. Murray will now serve as the backup to Alvin Kamara while Ingram will move on to Baltimore, where he’ll part of a rotation likely to include Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon. Ingram’s move to the Ravens will likely decrease the chances that fellow running back Javorius Allen — a free agent — returns to Baltimore.
Ingram, 29, served a four-game suspension to begin the 2018 campaign, but was highly effective once he returned to the field. On 138 carries, Ingram rushed for 638 yards and scored six touchdowns, while he also chipped in 21 catches, 170 yards, and a score in the passing game.
Ingram’s efficiency was off the charts, as he ranked third in Football Outsiders‘ success rate, meaning he was excellent at keeping the Saints’ offense on schedule with regard to down and distance. Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus assigned Ingram a 75.7 grade in pass-blocking, placing him among the best at his position.
Ravens having a nice day
nice signing, can’t believe Ingram is already 30. he’s seems much younger
it’s because he’s 29 not 30, that’s why he seems younger lol
Perfect fit for both player and team
But but, who is Sean Peyton going take all his anger out on now that ingram is gone?!?! lol
So you give latavius murray 4 million per for his subpar production but can give ingram 5 million per for someone who knows the system? Wow.
Exactly
I thought the same thing but looking at Saint’s cap space, they’re only 8 mil under the cap so at this point every penny (or million lol) counts i guess.
That being said, Latavious suuuucks at the goal line. It’s a huge downgrade from Ingram.
