If I were him, that's exactly how I would feel. As a fan, there's nothing wrong with feeling a little disappointed.

I don't blame him either.

Don't get me wrong, I hate to see him go as well... I just had to play devil's advocate and understand where he's coming from.

If I had the opportunity of taking a starting job or just being a rotational player I would take the starting job every time. I can't blame him. Just sucks that he is going to the birds and not another team...

Maybe a little harsh, but I say let him go and start for the Falcons. We'll see real quick if he's as good as we thought he was in that pathetic defense...

Im sure we will repay the favour soon enough

I really don't see much sense in matching the OS if it's around $2M per annum or even more.

I'm not saying Bush couldn't be a player worth that going forward, but that at the moment the Saints have more important positions to invest that money in.

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.

Bush is currently the Saints' No. 3 safety and would have a much clearer path to playing time in Atlanta. He'd immediately be the favorite for the Falcons' free safety job and a playmaking upgrade over 2013 starter Thomas DeCoud. Because the Saints only tendered Bush at the original-round level, New Orleans won't be entitled to draft-pick compensation if they decide not to match the offer. Apr 4 - 8:32 PM

He will be better this year but it appears he would rather play for the Falcons anyway. I say let him go get another safety as backup and target him when we play the Falcons.

I don't remember him being great in coverage... Just a hard-hitter. Big gamble for Atlanta.

With the pressure they don't get on the QB, no one is good in coverage for them

He is very good in coverage. In fact he's good at everything. There are no weaknesses in Bush's game. We are going to regret letting him go.
