If this is true; :rofl:

Hahahahahahahaha, man this would be a punch in the gut!

Wait.. what?!

Falcant fans are now screaming we are over the salary cap in the above thread :lolup:

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

I'm sure we restructured someone or cut someone. We didn't have room.

Probably hear something later. My guess is Bunkley restructured.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

F*** YES

We are better with this guy than without him.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Wasn't it Bush that wanted to be let go?

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

He was hoping they wouldn't match because he wanted the chance to start...

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Yes he did.

The FailClowns, is there a more accurate nickname in all of sports?

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

My guess is that Rob Ryan had a good talk with Bush about how important the 3rd safety was going to be and that he would still be getting a lot of playing time in one of the best secondaries in the league. Then Bush changed his mind so the FO decided to match.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Whoa... Did NOT see that coming. I can't say that I'm happy about spending more money on him than originally planned but at the same time it's hilarious that the Failclowns are now screwed at free safety.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Well, I would guess that we really are going after a DE/OLB in the 1st and a center in the second.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

I love this move more than the Champ Baily move.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Love this Falcon fan's post:

"win/win situation for the Falcons. Either we get Bush or push Saints closer to salary cap edge. Dimitroff wins again."


Your team is in decline pal. Gonzales will be MISSED. Steven Jackson, the normally reliable Saints killer is not what he used to be, and your offensive line has slipped while all the defenses (including ours) in the division have improved.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Like I said in the other thread:

When will these mouth-breathers realize that THERE ARE NO SALARY CAP CONCERNS AS LONG AS LOOMIS IS IN CHARGE. Jesus, every single off-season we're supposedly screwed because of the salary cap. Is that how pathetic things are in Atlanta now that all they can really celebrate is the Saints cap situation supposedly being bad?!

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Agree 100%.

When all you have to get excited about as a fan is some other team's salary cap situation, it's a good indicator of your confidence in your team's upcoming season...

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

We have all of our priorities locked down and we improved our roster by signing Byrd and Bailey....people are still talking about the Saints' cap situation?

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

If a few weeks back the saints were not so close to the cap they would have put a 2nd round tender on him.Low end tender was only to buy time saints lucky someother team did not offer even more money for Bush.Hes a very good player well worth no easy worth the money.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Contract restructures don't have to be reported to the league office so I wouldn't be surprised if a few of our guys have restructured here recently to free up some extra money.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Didn't I read somewhere where he was hoping we wouldn't match because he wanted a chance to start? If true, I sure hope it doesn't affect his play - and I don't think it would. I'm just tossing spit balls...

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

In my world that's a good thing. If he was the type of player that cared more about the money than getting to play I'd be worried.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

And that good sir is an excellent point!

Oh and by the way, the failclowns see a conspiracy over it all. LOL. They stink.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Pleased.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Well it seems everyone is happy!

@MikeTriplett: RT @RVargasAdvocate: Though the chance to start in ATL excited him, Rafael Bush said he is ready to take role under Jairus Byrd, Kenny Vaccaro in #nola.

@MikeTriplett: RT @RVargasAdvocate: Lastly, Rafael Bush said he's glad this offer sheet affair is done so he can focus again on being the player #saints coaches want him to be.

You'd swear Duce was back

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Their GM is too lazy to creatively structure contracts that have a low cap hit in the first year and can then be restructured later. But no, we're cheating and their GM doesn't suck.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

They like him. It's their team and Benson's money. But, I haven't seen anything special from him.

Re: Rumor: We matched offer for Bush
 

Honestly when one of the BIG offseason moves for the Falcons is to acquire our third string safety, they DEFINITELY SUCK!!! An entire fan base rooting on social media for our.... third string safety.

HA HA!

If it weren't so sad it would be funny(er).
