How much of a salary cut will Bush take to stay with the Saints?

If he balks at the Saints offer, I think the Saints let him walk.

Is this a "final guess" thread?

Okay, I'm in (again).

Final guess: 4 years, 12 million with a 2 million signing bonus

trade bait for players to be named plus picks.

i have to give him credit though, when he redid his contract and went last year laden-ed he knew there was little chance of collecting

I have mentioned this before but that has never stopped me in the past...

1st...though, I hope he stays a Saint but my gut says no...

...but, getting back to my comment. I will always think of Reggie Bush as the man that lead us to the promised land. I know...I am neglecting Payton and Brees, and they do deserve the bulk of the credit, but I don't care. I remember telling myself and others that if they didn't draft Reggie when given the chance by Houston, then this team does not care about winning.

Well...they did draft Reggie, and then after a misfire or two...we got there. So, whether it is justified or not, I relate him to the pick that turned the franchise around...finally.

IMO, it was Gregg Williams who put the Saints over the hump and into the Superbowl.

He didn't collect much of his first (now second) contract. Why not sign him to another?

True. So who would offer him "guaranteed money"
