IMO Deuce will be traded next season, it's not something I'm looking forward to be I think he's a player that the Saints need to help win games but I agree, he's not be used enough, I hope to see him get more carries, I don't think Bush is a back that can carry a team alone so if Deuce is traded next year as I think he will the saints will have to get him some help back there..
My two cents worth..

I see where trading Deuce makes sense for the team, he would have a lot of value on the market and you might be able to use him to get a good CB or LB or similar. I just don't think it's that simple. Deuce likes spending time with his family in Lena and he has the car lots in Jackson and several other business ventures going on. There's even rumblings about him running for political office in MS.

Deuce is a smart guy. I think he understands that he can extend his career by playing with Reggie and taking fewer snaps than guys like LJ, not to mention there is a chance to do something great with the Saints. I think he also understands that he has a legacy in the Gulf South.

It would not surprise me if Deuce elected to retire rather than be traded.

Great points. It's not often you think of a player taking his legacy into consideration, or for that matter anything besides the mighty dollar. But Deuce is no ordinary 'run of the mill' cat.

Good post. The next Jim Brown/ Barry Sanders/ Robert Smith perhaps? Get out before you become the next Earl Campbell?
This is a subject that will haunt this forum and my mind this year. I love the guy. I'd hate to see him go but would prefer retirement over a trade.

I agree that Duce is smart and I could see him redoing his contract to stay also. Being smart he realizes that Bush has lengthen his football life. If he goes else were he will be the 25 to 30 carries a game back. Can the knee hold up?

We can all agree that Simoneau has had his chance to shine and started all last year, and is starting this year with the same results.

What isn't taken into account is that neither Simmons, nor Kaesviharn has had an opportunity to even START a game yet this year, much less play an entire game, much less play an entire season. So the argument that they haven't solved any defensive problems isn't completely accurate - they just haven't had an opportunity from ol' pass-happy.
