The New Orleans Saints and Mark Ingram are headed for a reunion. The Saints and Texans have agreed to a trade that would bring Ingram back to the Superdome.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
Trade! The #Texans are sending veteran RB Mark Ingram to the #Saints, sources tell me and @RapSheet. A reunion in New Orleans, where Ingram started his career.

Ingram was drafted by the Saints in 2011, after their Super Bowl-winning campaign. In college at Alabama, he won a Heisman Trophy and a BCS Championship in the same year (2009). The Saints managed to take him with the 28th overall pick.
From 2011-2018, Ingram played with the Saints. He then signed a three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, joining two other Heisman winners on the team (Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III). After being cut by the Ravens, he joined the down-trodden Texans for seven games before this trade back to the Saints was accomplished.
He will now be Alvin Kamara’s backup in New Orleans, in all likelyhood.
