Mark Ingram will be a free agent come Tuesday.
In a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the former Heisman Trophy winner will be released by the Baltimore Ravens after two seasons with the team.
Baltimore is releasing veteran RB Mark Ingram on Tuesday, per league sources. The move will save the Ravens $5 million against the 2021 cap and allow Ingram to get an early jump on free agency.
Ingram is healthy and believes he has plenty to offer for 2021.

Ingram was a staple of the Ravens offense during his initial season in 2019 where he rushed for 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns as he helped the team win the AFC North. But 2020 was a much different year for Ingram.
He lost snaps and was eventually fazed out of the offense after the team’s rookie running back J.K. Dobbins emerged as the primary option with Gus Edwards showing promise as well. Ingram saw career lows in rushing attempts and yards and was even a healthy scratch in the team’s playoff game against the Bills.
Earlier Monday night, Ingram shared a post thanking the Ravens organization and is grateful for his time there.
Thank you Mr.Bisciotti and the Ravens for being a first class organization. I love the real ones in flock nation that supported me and showed luv! My blood brothers, whats understood Ain gotta be explained. Best is still ahead, cant wait! Watch God work.#GodWins #BigTrussForever pic.twitter.com/Hx0GZrSIrz

Although he will be released, Ingram can still prove to be an effective player and will have plenty to offer in the 2021 season.
