Earlier this week, it was announced the Texans would be trading Mark Ingram to the New Orleans Saints. Houston was shipping their best running back, a guy who could break tackles and collect yards after contact, back to where his NFL career first started. The compensation was the unknown.
Now it is known. The Texans will receive a seventh round pick for Ingram. But not a 2022 seventh rounder. Not a 2023 seventh rounder. Houston will get a 2024 seventh round draft pick from the Saints.
Compensation update: Houston acquired a 2024 7th-round draft pick from New Orleans in exchange for veteran running back Mark Ingram, per league source.
