The Redskins? That's where overpaid players like Randle El go to die. The Seahawks? Their QB is one hit away from retirement and a string of 4-12 seasons...no thanks. Packers? Maybe, but the idea of Reggie playing in the frozen turndra after spending his career on the warm west coast and the comfort of the dome doesn't seem like a huge likelihood. The Titans? I can't see Reggie taking the back seat to VY and Chris Johnson. He has is own special place here, even amongst our superstars like Drew.

I think he stays put and renegotiates if need be.

I expect better thoughts from Schefter...but he's a news-breaker, not a thoughtful writer.

I think you are hoping he feels this way, but realistically he is going to go to whoever is offering the most money...especially if the Saints win a championship this year. It's true when people say, "Money talks and BS walks."

He's a west coast guy, with a touch of Hollywood.

I can easily see him finding a California team more attractive, or one of the New York teams.

And as far as going to one of the bottom feeder teams in punt returns. we rank 31st in the league.

Bush = LeBron James mini me?

Can't we wait until the season is over? I've spent weeks in the offseason begging for Saints news. Let's talk about it then.

If he goes he goes. More and More versatile RBs are coming out of college these days. And we still have Thomas, Bell, and Hammy

If Bush is as smart as I hope he is he will get an extension loaded with incentives. I can't see him being used as effectively by any other team...they would most likely want to make him an every down back and we all know how that has worked out here. Here he is part of a strong team and has a chance to be part of something big.

Yes, we certainly didn't need him vs. the Rams.

The last thing we need is for Mike Bell to finally show Reggie how to run the rock this season and him go to another team. There would be a flood of negative articles towards the Saints orginization which is unfair to say the least.

You know, if we ran the single wing, it might make sense to keep him at that number. I like having him on the roster, but I suspect he will be too pricey to keep for an occasional return specialist.

Reggie will take the cut to remain a Saint
