re: Is it really time to trade Reggie Bush?

Yes, I am talking about the Saints. Our OL has sucked on short yardage situations, but we are able to run outside of those. Bush can't run PERIOD. He's had like 3 to 5 decent runs all season, and even after he gets a half-way decent run, he'll give it right back on the next play.

Now a large part of the problem is Payton and his playcalling, but I assure you much of the problem is when you pay a player as much as Bush is getting, his hand is being forced to give him lots of touches. Plain and simple. This is why I agree that a trade may be in the teams best interest.

Get several players/picks for Bush and add complementary players to the team. Bush doesn't complement this team based on his salary. His skills may complement it somewhat, but not with the salary he gets.

We all also know Bush isn't going to take a pay cut, so the best thing to do is get SOMETHING for him before he bolts in a few years.
