Dolphins to Release Alec Ingold

Friday, March 6, 9:41 AM

The Miami Dolphins and 2023 Pro Bowl fullback Alec Ingold are parting ways, sources told Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Ingold had talks with the Dolphins about a new deal, but he will now be released and will be free to sign with a new team as soon as Friday. The 29-year-old was entering the final year of a three-year, $12.2 million deal that he signed with the team in 2023. Ingold has never been on the fantasy map as a blocker out of the backfield, but he should receive interest on the open market from teams looking to improve their efficiency on the ground. In his seven years in the NFL, Ingold has only had 35 carries for 56 yards and two touchdowns in 107 games played. He's been more prolific as a receiver, catching 75 of his 97 targets for 611 yards and four touchdowns with the Dolphins and Raiders since entering the league in 2019.

Demond Claiborne News

Demond Claiborne Appears Locked into RB3 Role

Saturday, August 22, 7:39 PM

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Demond Claiborne totaled eight carries for 18 yards and added seven yards through the air in the 13-3 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Claiborne has been inefficient in both preseason games, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry on 20 carries. However, the sixth-round pick played all 19 snaps with J.J. McCarthy and the second-team offense, while Zavier Scott entered the game afterward. While both veterans Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason are expected to handle the backfield early in the season, Claiborne offers more speed and explosiveness than the other two. Injuries will likely be needed for the rookie to find the field this season, but Claiborne is a player to keep an eye on.
