Ravens GM Eric DeCosta rarely comments on moves made by the team. So, this statement on waiving Mark Ingram shows the amount of respect the team has for the running back: “We are making the tough business decision to terminate Mark Ingram's contract. Mark is a talented winner who brought passion, toughness, leadership and chemistry to the Ravens. He contributed in so many meaningful ways on and off the field, and we wish him the very best as he continues his career.”

Ravens waive veteran RB Ingram

Running back Mark Ingram was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday.

Jamison Hensley ESPN Staff Writer

The Ravens released running back Mark Ingram, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move was expected because Ingram was a healthy scratch for four of the Ravens' last five games, including two postseason games. Baltimore created $5 million in cap space and can move forward with J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, both of whom helped the Ravens become the NFL's No. 1 rushing attack. A Pro Bowl player in 2019, Ingram lost his explosiveness in 2020 and eventually lost his job.

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.
