METAIRIE, La. - New Orleans Saints veterans Mark Ingram II and Andy Dalton have completed a jersey swap that can only be described as a win-win.
Dalton, who signed with the Saints this offseason, will get the No. 14 that he has worn throughout his career as a quarterback with TCU, the Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears.
Ingram, meanwhile, gets to wear a more slimming No. 5 jersey.
Last season, Ingram hilariously tried to explain his angst over the unappealing jersey number choices he had when he returned to New Orleans in a midseason trade.
