Mark Ingram and the Saints tried and failed to work out a deal for the 29-year-old feature back to finish his career in New Orleans. So, the team reeled in former Vikings RB and Raiders former 6th round pick Latavius Murray on a 4-year, $14 million deal instead.
This deal ensures Ingram will be seeking his fortunes elsewhere. Hey, the Raiders need a feature back. It’s the circle of life, right? Sorta like a few years back when the Dolphins signed center Jake Grove and cut Samson Satele whom the Raiders then signed.
