No pay cut either.

quote:

NFL Network's Mike Lombardi reports that the Saints are "not even contemplating" releasing Reggie Bush, despite an impending $8M salary.

Lombardi indicated that asking Bush to take a pay cut isn't even in New Orleans' immediate plans. Bush, still just 25, saw career lows in carries and catches last season, but somehow found a way to score eight all-purpose touchdowns. He'll return as a change-of-pace back/punt returner in 2010.

Which means that we'll go about 3-4 hours without a thread calling to cut him...

Means nothing. If they say they'll cut him, his trade value is shite.

shite, just when i thought i could get away from the Bushtards on the SR. Your gonna tell me they have them HERE too?


Why can't people just appreciate what he brings to the team?

He's a hell of a lot better than AJ Hawk & Vince Young (oh no he has a "pro bowl" selection ), and we already had a LT so d'brickshaw was out of the question.

I love Reggie, it pisses me off when they talk shite about a guy who has done nothing but work on his faults.

I have no problem with us keeping Bush. My only concern is that if you pay Bush 8 mil what do you pay Pierre? Pierre is a more valuable running back, or at least as valuable IMO.

Not what im talking about, and if he is that's not his problem, he didn't make the contract. All he did was sign it.

If the Saints were thinking about asking him to take a pay reduction, or cut him or trade him, then it is his problem

I said before and will say it again, Bush is going nowhere despite what some jugheads want. SP loves Bush, I do to because of what he brings to the Saints that homerun threat that teams are scared to death of which is why everything else is so wide open for Brees to pick apart.

Did he precede this report with an agonizingly unfunny 3 minute video of Reggie Bush posing as a Hibachi Chef to promote his site?

Yeah, I don't think many people realize that Payton does not feel the same way about Bush that SFP does. All this talk of trades and pay cuts go against just about everything Payton has ever said regarding how he feels about Bush, and he's the one making the call.

You pay Pierre 3.2 million, which is the 1st and 3rd tender.

Won't happen for a number of reasons, not limited to the restrictions placed upon us as a final 4 team.
