Kinkhabwala: Melvin Ingram ‘Doesn’t Want To Be Here’, Thinks He’s Better Than Alex Highsmith

The trade deadline is less than 24 hours away. If the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to move on from veteran outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, then we are going to know within that time, by 4 PM tomorrow. At this point, we certainly can’t be surprised if it does happen.

The 32-year-old former Pro Bowler signed with the Steelers just before training camp on a one-year, $4 million contract, looking to revitalize his market after playing through injury last season. The only problem is, Pittsburgh wasn’t looking for a starter, not after the way second-year Alex Highsmith tore through training camp and the preseason.
