Melvin Ingram a ‘Great Vet’ And ‘Perfect Fit’ For Kansas City Defense, Chiefs Say

Remember back toward the start of the season how exciting it was that the Pittsburgh Steelers secured valuable, quality depth at the outside linebacker position? They added veteran former Pro Bowler Melvin Ingram on a one-year deal. He played a whole eight games before the Steelers traded him to the Kansas City Chiefs.

As coaches have made clear after the fact, Ingram wanted out. He said as much himself, though he refused to elaborate, simply saying that the situation he walked in was different from what he expected, even though he liked and respected all of his coaches and teammates and the organization as a whole.
