Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II said Tuesday the Carolina Panthers' Christian McCaffrey "deserves" his four-year, $64 million contract extension.
Ingram also spoke about his hope that the record-setting deal will help bolster the positional market, via Twitter (h/t Schuyler Callihan of Sports Illustrated):
