Bye Bye Bush (Update pg. 4)

Saint_LB · 07-28-2011, 05:54 AM

It's all about money for Reggie just as it would be for 99% of you out there. In fact...it has to be more about money for Reggie than any of us normal working stiffs. What's the average career for an NFL RB?

Now...it would be a real story if Reggie did stay in NO for less money. I think the best we can hope for now is that Reggie hooks up with us in the twilight of his career just so he can end his career as a Saint.

When he has to play in the cold @ Buffalo, Jets and New England, I hope he asks himself. "What was I thinking?"

Kind of quick on the Bye Bye trigger.
I still think N.O. is the best place for Reggie's talents but...
If they give him that 11 mil as a signing bonus and upwards of 5 mil a year, he has to pocket that money. I'm pretty sure we are not going to go above 3 or 4 per year.

Sorry to see him go, but there is a lot of other talent that is better at running downhill, picking up the blitz and can catch the ball 95% as well. His yards per touch were not all that impressive and his propensity for the untimely big mistake were just too hard to watch.

Reggie and Ricky together..... All they need is JaMarcus Russell and they can be in Guinness for the most over paid, over hyped backfield in history. Maybe the heaviest too.

Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald confirms that Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland spent "much of the night" working on a trade for Reggie Bush.

The deal is contingent on contract terms; the Fins and Saints have agreed on compensation. Ireland ultimately opted to "sleep on it," after a long day of work. His decision is coming this morning. The Saints were almost certain to release Bush by the end of this week, so we suspect they're willing to accept a late-round pick. A fifth-rounder in 2012 seems about right; it was the going rate for disappointing playmakers like Ted Ginn and (at the time) Santonio Holmes last offseason. Related: Dolphins

Who will Payton get to use as a decoy in our offense now. How much is Darren Sproles asking for I would mind seeing him in Black and Gold.

Whoever we set in motion at WR or shift to the outside either from our TE spot or RB will be the "decoy". Fake reverses, fake pitches, swing passes, etc. nothing in our offensive arsenal will change because our "decoy" isn't here anymore. Sproles looks like a favorite to sign with the Rams right now.

Normand... a lot of fans would like him to return at a reduced rate. However, our reduced rate isn't the same as his reduced rate making it best for both parties to part ways.

If this deal goes through, I'm glad we got some compensation instead of flat out cutting him.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
