In his Week 8 performance against the Green Bay Packers, Mark Ingram finally looked like the player the New Orleans Saints were expecting when they made him a first round pick out of Alabama.

The Saints declined their fifth-year option on Ingram last offseason.

Ingram is expected to become a free agent in 2015 and is still realtively young and without a ton of miles, which could make him an attractive option for teams looking for a running back.

One scout said Ingram is finally realizing his substantial talent due to increased confidence and the late 2013 shift to an inside/outside blocking scheme that emphasizes his strengths.

Marshawn Lynch has not been put on the trading block by the Seattle Seahawks, but both sides do not expect him to remain with the franchise in 2015.

The Seahawks have grown tired of Lynch's behavior, including not showing up for their White House Super Bowl ceremony, holding out in training camp and his possible contribution to locker room issues.

The Seahawks are unlikely to trade Lynch since they are currently thin at running back behind him.

The Denver Broncos have tabled extension talks with Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas until after the current season.

Both players, two of the best receiving options in the entire NFL, are scheduled to become free agents.

The Broncos have negotiated with both men, but with neither close to a deal, Denver recognizes that it will have to wait until after the season to address it again.

Wes Welker is also playing on an expiring contract.

The New York Giants worked out Terrelle Pryor on Tuesday, according to a source.

Pryor is being evaluated by the Giants as a quarterback.

Pryor was with the Seattle Seahawks in training camp and had a workout earlier in the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Seattle Seahawks were prepared to release Percy Harvin if they were unable to trade him.

The Seahawks had until the NFL's trade deadline of Oct. 28 to move Harvin, but the desire to cut him loose was no longer a debate within the organization, the sources said.

According to sources, Russell Wilson wanted to be part of the solution, helping Harvin with the anger management and trust issues that created numerous incidents and tension in the organization.

The Detroit Lions will sign Matt Prater as their kicker barring an unexpected problem in contract talks.

Prater, who made 25-of-26 field goals last season for the Broncos, was available after he was released by Denver last week after coming off a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.

Prater will replace Alex Henery, who missed three field goals on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Ndamukong Suh was asked numerous questions about his plans during the offseason on Wednesday following a report from Adam Schefter that he would like to leave the Detroit Lions in 2015.

During the news conference, Suh did not raise his voice or appear agitated -- it just seemed he didn't want to talk about his future.

"I cannot address that just for the simple fact that I have not spoken to any reporter about it or any reporters about supposedly what has come out," Suh said.

Teammates continue to say that Suh's contract situation is not a distraction and something he has to handle on his own.
