METAIRIE, La. -- Mark Ingram and the New Orleans Saints are such a good fit that he might be willing to accept a little less money to stay as a free agent, and the Saints might be willing to pay a little more than they normally would for a No. 2 running back.
Will that be enough to keep them together? That depends on the rest of the NFL.
Ingram, who turned 29 in December, is good enough to be a leading man for a team that doesn’t have an Alvin Kamara on the roster.
