Difference of $500K Sends Mark Ingram to Baltimore

With the New Orleans Saints signing former Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray, the writing was on the wall for Saints running back, Mark Ingram.  After rumors of Ingram getting offers from Baltimore and Green Bay, ESPN’s Dianna Russini says Ingram will be a Raven on a three year, $15-million deal.  On a yearly average, that amounts to just $500K less than what it’s been reported the Saints offered him.

Former Saints’ RB Mark Ingram intends to sign a three-year, $15 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens, per @AdamSchefter and me. New Orleans offered 4.5 million per source. Baltimore it is for Ingram

It’s a move that Sports Illustrated called, “befuddling.”
