NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Running back Mark Ingram and the New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement on a four-year contract.

Sources tell ESPN, the deal is worth $16 million over the four years.

The Saints announced the news on Facebook Saturday evening with a simple photo and the caption, “Mark Ingram II‼️”

Ingram expressed his gratitude via Twitter saying, “Very excited to stay a saint!! God has blessed me beyond belief!! I don’t deserve his grace!! Thank you!!”
