Most of our team are talented free agents, who cares. Loomis and SP will find gold.

bashed on Bush's peformance

It was probably very unprofessional of them to talk negatively about Reggie...but I didn't think they could penalize them for it!

"The undisclosed draft picks which were swapped as part of the Saints' preseason trade with the Dolphins are not tied to Bush's performance in any way. The specific details of the draft picks remain unknown, though."

Well then, what the hell do we get, a pat on the back?
I hope we didn't just give his a** away. He may not have been the best on our team, but he is a Heisman trophy winner and and a Superbowl champion!

Its probably tied to a couple things that aren't performance related...

Games played and or a contract renegotiation.

I've always liked Reggie " Dancing Bear" Bush but I think Sproles fits our O so much better. I feel were going to get at least a 3 or 4 out of it. So if you count Sproles, Amaya, and a pick we did well enough. Also Matt Flynn is up for grabs after this season, any thought? The talk is up here by some Green Bay fans he is as good if not better than Rodgers, I think he could be Brees heir in a few years and to top it off piss McCarthy off by coming here.

Agreed, we traded up no matter what we get.

We were lucky to get anything at all for Bush.

We were not going to pay him 12 million, so he could have simply forced us to release him and he could negotiate with any team.

Reggie and Miami did us a huge favor.

Here was an article that said nothing. The writer's probably paid by the word and had an electric bill past due. Everyone's playing their cards real close to their vests on this deal. I doubt we know anything until the season's over.
