As for Brees, I believe he is going to sign a contract that is way out of our imagination. I have him pegged at a 7 year deal around 160 million.

It's not that simple with Bush. He has one more year remaining on his contract. I can't see the Saints cutting him out-right. Nobody is going to trade for him with a $11.5M hit with no guarantee of his renegotiating an acceptable deal. Bush has said he wants to remain a Saints and knows that Payton's offense is his best fit. He's made his money up front and would be better off re-working the current deal for a reasonable new deal with the Saints.
