    If true get rid of his ungrateful ass, I'm sure his agent is leaking this crap to the media.

    This all seams like bunk to me. Plus we already have a thread about Ingram.

    He is better than Highsmith but obviously not a very good team player

    Stop breaking Glenn’s rules or you will get a timeout.

    At his age I don't think he's a full time starter, he started against the Bengals and didn't do much.

    Highsmith is very raw I think in time he will be better but as of right now I would take Ingram. However it’s probably close and Highsmith has more upside so I don’t disagree with the Steelers deployment. It should be a pretty even time share and obviously Ingram is cry babying over that so F him.

    Hmmm... some aspects feel off here. I thought Melvin was already informed when he signed here that he would be a situational rusher. I wonder as to what could have changed here?



    Unusual indeed. That said, best to part ways with him. A shame really but such is life in the NFL.

    I doubt the media is making this all up, he's probably trying to force their hand, I kind of hope they trade his ass now.

    If you guys read my response in the other thread, this is pretty much what I speculated was going on.

    Either way, just send him packing. It's not worth the headache. I like Ingram as a player, but if he isn't happy with his role then just release him. Guys that act in this manner should be made an example of.

    Ingram is probably attempting to position himself for one last 3 to 4 year pay day. Does he understand his role in the NFL at 32 years old? He is a vet that will most likely be used as a situational player regardless of the team that signs him.

    The Steelers don't hold players hostage. Good for the Steelers if they can get a pick or two for Ingram.

    In his prime, he was better than Highsmith is now. He's not that player any longer.

    Once again I think they have miss used a player they went out of their way to pick up. If he was meant to be situational player then he should be seeing the field more. In the small sample of him he still shows some burst and should be used to spell both Watt and Highsmith. He went from looking good to not doing much to not seeing the field, but its hard just pinch hit all the time.

    Something sounds off here, Ingram may think he is better than Highsmith but when reality sets in he really is not that much better than Highsmith, the two are both deserving... this thread/story does not compliment Ingram, he needs to be more of a team player

    Spot on man. Ingram is slightly better than Highsmith currently with the ladder having more upside. It should be more 50/50 if anything but Ingram comes off as a terrible teammate if the reports are true and obviously cannot be counted on. He didn’t even travel to Cleveland with the team

    Glenn is even worse than Tomlin at managing timeouts.

    You don’t make an example by releasing him so that he can pick a new team. You trade him.

    This Broad is a Cleveland Browns loving Dingbat...She ALWAYS posts articles like this and says " he thinks "...

    I really, highly doubt ( even if he believed it ) to tell a Ding dong like Aditi this about a teammate... She's a Drama Queen always stirring up S****...

    And like I said, She loves the Stains...And is forever "trying" to make little subtle jabs, to stir up Steelers S***!

    Same reporter as the other story on Ingram. Not saying that none of it’s true, but I’m gonna need to hear it from a more reliable source before I get all worked up about it.
    This stuff all started after only six games into the season? Just doesn’t seem very professional or smart on Ingram‘s part it’s true.

    What percentage of the snaps do you think he should get? His playing time was done for one game, Seattle. Otherwise, he was out there quite a bit.
