Rafael Bush Signs Offer Sheet

halloween 65 · 04-04-2014, 01:03 PM

Bush hit well but not a ball-hawk at FS, he looked to be more of a SS to me. Even with the signing of the new guy we still need a back-up at FS or SS. A 3 year contract was a surprize to see. I can't wait to see him on the field.

Replaceable!

Bush is a more than serviceable safety and could start for some teams. He was very good depth for us.
Did we match? I can't remember if he's RFA OR UFA . Do we get compensation?

We haven't matched yet. We have until Tuesday. He's an RFA with the lowest tender allowed by the CBA rules so therefore, if we lose him we get no compensation.

Well, I dont mind losing Bush if Ball comes in and plays balls out and balls out of control-but if Ball comes in and drops the ball or is not ballin like Bush balled, then I think Im gonna lose my marballs. Ya feel me?
....whew! Thats alot of balls!

Restricted free agent S Rafael Bush would prefer if the Saints didn't match the two-year, $4.5 million offer sheet he received from the Falcons.

New Orleans Advocate

If he doesn't want to be here, let him leave. I'm a little disappointed he feels that way, as there are plenty of snaps to be shared here, but I do understand.

Well let's be real here... Atlanta offers him the starting free safety job and we offer him a backup role that's now even more crowded with Champ Bailey joining the secondary. I don't blame him. He's not speaking ill of the Saints, he just would rather get his chance to try and shine.

^^^^ This is roundabout what I thought even before Ball and Bailey signed.... I think if we are talking rubbles they match, any thing beyond three million were not matching... Either way I can't be mad at him.... But its still F#@k the birds so it will be F#$k him.... with a lot less hate.....
