Ingram was by far one of the most fun players on the current roster. He brought excitement, energy and positivity to the locker room. He also did so on the gridiron in 2019.
His first carry in a Ravens’ uniform was a 49-yard physical run earning the first crowning of Good Morning Football’s “Angry Runs.”
In 2019, Ingram produced one of his most dominant seasons. On 202 carries, Ingram rushed for 1,018 yards and 10 touchdowns. He averaged a stalwart 5.0 yards per carry. Off the field, Ingram brought fun and excitement, including one of the best press conferences witnessed.
He was a huge supporter of Lamar Jackson and did not create friction when J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards became the starting tailbacks. He encouraged them and was a model teammate.
Though Ingram is leaving the Ravens, he’s yet another free agent to have joined the Ravens and leave as “Always a Raven.”
Ingram posted this thank you message and the news of his release followed. As Adam Schefter reports the team released him tonight.
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.
