Saints Signing Latavius Murray, Moving On From Mark Ingram
6 years agoThe New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent running back Latavius Murray to a four-year, $14.4 million deal on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The signing will make up for the fact that the Saints will move on from free-agent running back Mark Ingram. Ingram compiled 6,007 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns in eight seasons in New Orleans. Murray can't catch passes like Ingram did, but he had 578 yards (4.1 yards per carry) with Minnesota last year and will be a change-of-pace back to Alvin Kamara. The loss of Ingram in New Orleans likely means an even bigger workload for Kamara in 2019.
