I'd reallt be happy to land him I just don't know what he'd demand. It isn't as often to see the 2nd best RB in FA is 29 and was a member of a duo backfield. I mean yeah he is 29, but the mileage isn't typical of a most 29 year old RBs either. In rushes and receptions, Ingram has less than 10 more touches than Bell actually. If we could get him for say $15 million for 3 years with high guarantees in the first two years I would be thrilled...yes it's a big chunk of our cap space and we would need to get creative with Mack & Daniel's but he is just a perfect fit for us...take a longer term back in the 5th to back him up...sprinkle in Cohen as a runner and receiver and all of a sudden I am not sure how you stop us...especially if we also draft one of these very talented TEs.

I was willing to do that deal for Yeldon. I Ingram would take that then I'd be ecstatic. Like I said, I have zero clue what his market would be. But that would be awesome.

He took 4 year $16 million last time...you offer him an extra mill a year with high guarantees at his age it would make sense for him to jump at it...especially on a contending team where he will still be able to split carries.

dll2000 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Funny that GB LB got cut because he got that automatic pay raise bump. Pay raise is probably a factor in looking to trade Howard. Kwiatowski could be a cap casualty if someone was out there they really wanted. Sometimes those pay raises are a bad thing. I would be like hey give me opportunity to take a pay cut before you cut me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 FWIW Carlos Hyde got scooped up in the blink of an eye so we can cross him off the list. Carlos Hyde wasn't unemployed for long. Just one day after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, the running back signed a one-year, $2.8 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport on Saturday. The team later confirmed the news. Hyde will join a running back room currently populated by the teammates Williams, Damien and Darrel. This will be Hyde's fourth organization in less than one calendar year. Drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, the running back joined the Cleveland Browns on a three-year deal in free agency and was then traded midseason to the Jaguars. Jacksonville cut him Friday as part of a cap cleaning in preparation for signing a free-agent quarterback, likely Nick Foles. Hyde figures to be a solid contributor in K.C. and could even open the season as its starter. The RB, however, is not coming off of his strongest season. Hyde finished 2018 with 571 yards on 172 carries (a career-worst 3.3 YPC) and five total touchdowns. But this also begs the question if Hyde can get $.2.8 mil with that little production Jordan Howard becomes a bigger bargain at $2.1 for someone. It may also be a tip off as far as what we'd be paying for a starter to replace Howard or even a complimentary back like Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Just read that Antonio Brown is the 2nd best receiver of all time, and that TO wasn't a deep threat. Can you guess what fan base this fool follows? LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all in on wanting Tevin Coleman but Ingram would also be a really good get for us. As to his contract I think the numbers you’re talking may get it done. With Ingram over Coleman I think you’re still taking a RB in round 3 or 4 though because of the age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman has missed a lot of games for a guy who has averaged about 9 carries a game in his career. Rapoport just said on NFLN that the Bears all be interested in Ingram.

Even with his age I think next year would be a better chance to get a major playmaker at RB, we have 2 2nds to add to our chances of getting the best playmaker available (HB, EDGE, CB, etc).

He’s also never had a major injury in the NFL. Factor I hadn’t considered on Coleman before too - he’s from Oak Forest. Bears are his home team. That doesn’t matter to everyone, but it can’t hurt either if he’s their guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's going to come here and get 20 touches/game, I can imagine he's going to be hurt often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Raiders have traded Osemele to NYJ. Remember when Gruden was hired last year and said he loved Carr, praised the two OAK guards and said they'd keep Mack? Well, rumors are he loves Murray, he just traded 1 of those 2 guards and a few months after he said all of this he dealt Mack to the Bears.

The other perspective of the same thing is that he had 410 touches over the past 2 seasons and missed 1 game out of 34 (incl. 2017 playoff). Your point is understood but I’m not worried about his durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
