Isn't Sharpers proposed contract of $6 million over three years, vs. Reggies $8 million per next year? ...pretty significantly far of in comparison.

Coming into the off-season there were two big issues & question marks?

1. What are they going to do with / for Darren Sharper?

2. Are they going to bring back Reggie on his final and most costly year of his contract... or seek a trade?

... does anyone dispute that to this point?

Well, they have expressed that they intend to retain Bush and at his set rate... right? Well, that is a big commitment to honor, that frankly, BUSH IS LUCKY to the recipient of. Even when they draw these contracts, there is always ways out. If they traded him, they don't owe him the full 8 million, right? So if they do honor it, Bush is lucky.

Step back and look at it from an outsiders point of view. If Sharper goes and they retain Bush, is there no way that one of the others decision wouldn't have had an impact on the other? "Welp, looks like the Saints couldn't pay Sharper enough... but the didn't trade Reggie who's set to make___?" This is how I see and if it goes down, will be critiqued by analyst all the same.

It may be the obvious choice for the majority here and that's fine, Reggie is the obvious fan favorite (of all the women and kids) but it's a win / loose comparison I'm thinking about. Let's hope the keep Sharper either way so it doesn't matter.
