Best fits: New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs

Despite the fact that Mark Ingram is about to enter his 30s, he’s still playing at an exceptionally high level.

Prior to his suspension-shortened 2018 season, Ingram had four straight seasons with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and is averaging 10 touchdowns per 16 games played in the last five.

This guy knows how to get it done and has gotten better with age.

The best fit for him might be the team with which he has excelled for the past eight years, but if Ingram is going for a change of scenery, the Kansas City Chiefs are a very intriguing option.

Kansas City is going to have to focus on their defense this offseason but Ingram is a player who might be worthwhile as a back to pair with and/or push Damien Williams.

Ingram is a veteran who runs hard and can catch passes out of the backfield.
