What veteran? We signed Marcus Ball to replace him at 3 year 1.5 million total around 500,000 a year

Hey, don't get me wrong, because I like to see the positives in all of our signings, too, but you're putting all of your eggs into the Marcus Ball basket? The guy that is so good that he spent the last two seasons in Canada? He's going to be our third safety on a team that likes 3 safety sets? Also, that's who we're going to count on if one of our starters goes down with an injury? During a "super bowl or bust" season? That's a lot of questions, but I just want to make sure I'm following you.

You can most certainly count on at least one more safety (probably a veteran) being added to this group. Why not Bush?

Because he wants to start and wouldn't get that opportunity here, he's already said that he doesn't want the Saints to match. And do you really want to pay a 3rd safety 2 million a year?
