By the way, espn news is reporting that the deal is 6 years 54 million.
He signed a deal making 9 mil a year without playing a game in the NFL, rookie contracts are getting ridiculous.
Seymour93 said:Exactly. The Saints have Deuce McAllister
Crazy Patriot Guy said:I'd be shocked if the Saints passed on Bush or traded the pick away, unless someone like the Jets gave them a Ricky Williams-full draft type of deal.
The Saints struggled last year and lost fans and ticket sales. Imagine what adding Reggie Bush to Drew Brees would do for exciting the fan base.
Also, name a more talented player available AFTER the 1st pick in the draft in recent memory. How do you pass that up?

Man, Casserly has some balls going against the tidal wave of public opinion. Someone named Belichick did the same thing a few years ago by picking a defensive lineman over the next superstar WR.
spacecrime said:this is way smart
with williams and a RB with their high second round pick they will be better off than with Bush and the best DE available when they go in the second round
Besides, isn't doesn't Kubiak have experience in the Bronco RB machine.?
jaj18 said:They have dominick Davis, why are they so worried about getting another RB?
Crazy Patriot Guy said:Not just the knee but McAllister will turn 28 late in the 2006 season. It usually isn't until the 2nd year after a torn ACL that players get back to 100% before the injury, E. James being a perfect example. Do you pass on Bush with Deuce turning 30 the year he's completely back?
It's not like he was dominating the NFL before the injury, he had just 3.6 ypc. He finished 2004 with just 1074 yards, certainly not terrible by any means but IMO not something that makes you pass on Bush.
Misleading. Yeah in 2004 he had those yards in the last four games, but just because the Texans were playing out the string, doesn't mean the opposing teams' defenses were. They played Indy and Jacksonville those last 4 games, both trying to either make the playoffs or needed to improve their seed. The opponents weren't going to CHOOSE not to shut down Davis simply because Houston was out of the playoffs. If it was as easy to do as you say, they would have done it because THEY themselves needed the game. And he had 128 yards vs. Indy and 158 vs. Jacksonville. And he didn't PLAY the last two weeks of 2005, he was hurt.dhamz said:Because he is slightly above mediocre. He is the kind of guy good teams have no trouble stopping when they focus on it. When he isn't the focus of the defense or in games when the season is done and teams aren't focused he puts up big numbers.
In 2004 he rushed for 1188 yards. It sounds impressive. But if you look closer, he got 484 of those in the last 4 games when they were out of it and playing out the string. That leaves 700 in the first 12 games, less than 60 a game. Same thing in 2005 when almost 300 of his 970 yeard came in his last 2 games when the Texans had long established themselves as the worst team in the league.
Davis is a serviceable starter but is one of those guys whose numbers look better than he really is and that is why his own team which sees him uo close every week knows it needs to upgrade.
