Saints sign RB Ingram

METAIRIE, La. - Running back Mark Ingram and the New Orleans Saints have come to terms on a four-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The deal is worth a reported $16 million, according to a league source.

Ingram, a first-round pick and Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama in 2011, had 964 yards rushing last season on 226 attempts for nine total touchdowns last season. 

2014 was a breakout year that saw him become the feature back after the departure of Darren Sproles to the Eagles and injuries to Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson.

In his five-year career, Ingram has racked up 2,426 yards on 582 rushes for 20 touchdowns, becoming the feature back after his professional career was hampered by injuries early on.
