When you hear a constant gripe you do too.

Listen, the only time I've brought up woe's with Bush was in comparison to problems appeasing Sharper, money wise. Whether you agree with me or not, it's a valid point (theoretical or not). Sharper IS the hot topic right now and the primary concern.

The fact is, I brought up my take to be met by a wave of contradiction and hostility. I've continued to respond.... If I ignore indifferent opinions, then everybody's wasting their time.

As long is Bush is set to be the highest paid RB in the NFL with what, a Brees' like salary.... and Loomis and front office are scratching their heads with a closed checkbook, I'll be here. I'm glad y'all got it all figured out, but it baffles me.

The fact is you made a comment about ignorance is bliss. So you threw out the first insult IMO. So don't act all wounded.

The facts are this: Bush's salary was pretty much determined by his draft position.

The Saints decided not to release him, thereby determining he was worth the $

Sharper wanted to have franchise tag money from us. That was 6 million dollars. Not so far off from Bush's salary.

So it comes down to the Saints deciding that 6 mil for a player comng off a great season, but on the end of his career and coming off an injury was not what other teams were willing to pay him and therefore not market value. If he signs for 6 mil with another team the decision may have been wrong. We shall see.

But with the draft approaching and the development of our younger guys in the secondary it makes sense to me that the team decided not to make the move. He will likely sign a cntract with us or another team for less than that. Why you say that Bush's salary has an impact on this decision is beyond me. That you seem to be proud that you feel this is puzzling.
