[QUOTE="DTown SBrown, post: 367428, member: 2206"] non issue. He will want too much. I know that your post said "what if", but there is no "what if". He is a solid performer and if the Saints cut him, will go through waivers (if waivers still exist tomorrow). If he fell to us at 32 in the order, we would have to pay him $11,ooo,ooo per year for his contract. If he makes it to FA, he will ask for even more. He is above average, but the question isnt a "hypothetical". Its a pipe dream. It would be another thing if he was a player on the market ala' a Julius Peppers who would be in his : A) Prime B) Best at his position or near the top, C) an absolute NEED for us. He is none of those. Bush has always been over-hyped and has always under-preformed (at the pro level). Think of it this way: If he was worth the money he wants, the SAINTS would pay it to him. They instead chose to NOT pay him his price, and traded BACK into the first round, giving up future picks, just to make sure that, at the least, they had the leverage NOT to pay him. So basically, at best, we automatically overpay for a player that his own team doesnt see the value of what we would pay in him. He is still under contract. He is NOT a FREE AGENT. The Saints regret the contract they gave him and he is about to get CUT. Not only that, but he will ask for FREE AGENT $$$ when it happens, b/c he thinks he is still at USC and the best player at his position. He is not. He will ask too much, for too little, and we dont have the need at RB that would justify HALF of what he will be asking. Let him go to the Raiders. [/QUOTE]
