Sources: Bush agrees to deal with Saints

Reggie Bush could join his first pro team as early as Sunday. Team sources told FOXSports.com that Bush and the New Orleans Saints agreed in principle on a 6-year deal that is sandwiched between Vince Young's contract at No. 3 and Mario Williams' at No. 1.



"This deal should be done as early as tomorrow," the source said.
When asked if there was anything that could hold up the deal, one team source said, "There shouldn't be anything. But you never know. All that's really left is for some language to be cleaned up in the deal."

The Titans' Young received $25.74 million in guarantees, while the No. 1 pick Williams of the Houston Texans was awarded $26.5 million in bonuses.

Bush was the second player chosen in the NFL draft and has missed the first two days of training camp practices.

To say the Saints are excited is an understatement. The night before the draft coach Sean Payton said he was working on a new offensive playbook to include Bush in a backfield with Deuce McAllister.

:broccoli:

BOOGER from "Revenge of the Nerds": "WE GOT BUSH!! WE GOT BUSH!!"

:crow: GROUND PAT'I!!

i thought he was supposed to hold out all season and then re-enter the draft?????

hahaha

Year-long hold my a$$. Goob job by Reggie and our FO for stepping up and not letting this become a distraction. They exceeded my expectations getting this deal done before the end of July.

OK this training camp will rock now. Get Reggie on the punt-return team ASAP! Just get hydrated before going outside everyone (not just Saints) - it's gonna be freakin hot for a while.

If i wasnt so hungover I would celebrate by getting drunk. Go Saints!

only going to miss a few days of camp, thats great.

Good. Now that it's all cleared up, lets get him in, gel together as a team, and beat some ass.

Now the Saints can make their rise back to mediocrity....YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lolup: That's a good one.

let the reggie chants begin!!!

REGG-IE, REGG-IE, REGG-IE

LMAO! Leave it to good old "D".

I'm real happy to see that he signed a 6 year deal. Heard a lot of rumors about him looking for a 5 or even 4 year deal. This tells me that he wants to be in NO and help the team and community.

REG-GIE, REG-GIE, REG-GIE

Amen bro....
Our 2006-2007 team is ready for play, it really all came together nicely I have to say..

Damn!!!!!!!! 6 years, huh? Our FO did something right this month. :wink:

awesome news....a friend and I were ironing out the details of out Saints vs. Browns wager when the story broke....needless to say he wanted to renegotiate...

Any word on what the terms of the deal were as to total money, upfronts, bonuses and voidability of the last few years of the contract?

Is it wrong to be SO happy over one signing?

Wellll!!!! I have returned. Man I missed you guys!!! I have been away for a while and I'm glad someone started this thread because truthfully I was staring at the Sportsticker all summer hoping to read that the Saints signed Bush. I'm glad the wait its over.

yes. it is. Be happy when he earns it and not gets injured before the season starts.

More importantly then sigining this deal was the news that Reggie has been assigned a new media nickname...

Apparently he is to be called Sush by the US sports beat writers! I'm guessing that it stands for "Sush" your mouth but who really knows??? See last sentence in SI story for the refrence.
