HOUSTON -- Soon-to-be New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram signed a one-year extension through 2022 that is worth up to $2.8 million, sources told ESPN's Field Yates.
The deal was signed before Ingram was officially traded to New Orleans, as he received a $250,000 signing bonus from Houston and agreed to reduce his base salary rate from $1.5 million to $1.075 million for this year, while also getting rid of his per-game roster bonuses for this year ($29,411.76 per game). This extension reduces Ingram's cap charge in 2021, which will now be about $657,000, Yates reports.
