just now reported by NFL network on their 7 pm update. But said that it would happen after a new CBA is signed.

I thought that teams and players weren't supposed to be talking now.

I was kind of curious what kind of concrete information they had to know that he will be resigned but only after the new CBA. They will probably run the same story at their next little update in between shows.

My guess is that there was some sort of agreement in principle, that both sides wanted Reggie as a Saint, and that the final numbers will be crunched once a new CBA (and a new salary cap?) is in place.

If the CBA had been allowed to expire then that would be the case, but there is nothing that prevents them from talking as long as its still in place. I would imagine though that the Saints and Bush both agreed to a restructuring weeks and maybe even months ago, but they just never said anything publicly.

Good point, although the 7 day NFL-NFLPA negotiating extension may have extended the time for teams to deal with individual players. Also, the Saints may have wanted to lock up PT first before dealing with Reggie.

K, here's clarification on exactly what's going on:

Teams can talk to players they have under contract, but no actual transactions can take place.

Hmmm, they just showed it again and it sounded much less definite. It said that the Saints "are reported to try and restructure Bush's contract".
But I don't know why it would be news worthy especially to show on a 60 second update segment if there wasn't more there.

At least it suggests they still want to keep Reggie--for the right price.

i disagree. we did not feel as comfortable at rb last season as we should this coming season. we didn't even know who the third running back was or how he'd do..

Yeah. Let's just hope the top four backs don't all go down to injuries like last year.
