Melvin Ingram has been practicing with the Los Angeles Chargers, but the seemingly unfaithful defensive end does not join her.
Ingram is out of practice due to annoyance with his contract situation, reported NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
The Athletic first reported the news.
An eight-year pro with three straight Pro Bowl trips, Ingram, 31, is in the final season of his current contract and earns $ 14 million in base salary in 2020 from a four-year pact for $ 64 million, per Over the Cap.
Under the new collective bargaining agreement, holdouts can directly affect a player’s ability to reach unlimited free agency, as they can prohibit a player from winning a season required to reach free agency. In Ingram’s case, however, he has reported and has also avoided all fines required under the new CBA.
Ingram, de nr. 18-pick in the 2013 draft, has bagged seven sacks in each of the last two seasons since matching a career-high of 10.5 in 2017. In 2019, he had 48 tackles, seven sacks, five passes defended, 12 quarterbacks hits and 11 tackles for loss.
This news comes in the wake of teammate and colleague of Ingram Joey Bosa who signed a massive expansion.
