Saints | Bush contemplating not signing?

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 21:33:34 -0700

Jason Cole, of Yahoo Sports, reports there has been some talk of New Orleans Saints rookie RB Reggie Bush not signing in time for training camp. Now, a league source said Bush is toying with the idea of sitting out the entire season and going back in the NFL Draft in 2007 if he doesn't get his price. "No player has ever had the kind of leverage that Reggie Bush has right now," the source said. "The Saints made it clear what they were willing to do before and now we'll see if they're going to get there." Two sources said that talks between the Saints and agent Joel Segal have been nearly non-existent. Wednesday, July 19, Mike Ornstein, who is Bush's marketing agent, told the Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, Miss., that he didn't think Bush would be signed in time for camp. Ornstein is not allowed to negotiate contracts, but he is acutely aware of all of Bush's business matters. Bush supposedly has more than $5 million in the bank from multiple endorsement deals Ornstein has negotiated since Bush left the University of Southern California. Bush could probably sit out 2006 and still be a high pick next year.

What the hell. Bush is a fool if he does that. Does he honestly think a year off of football will help him get a bigger contract and help his chances of going #1 next season? Wrong.

If he sits out, he loses $. No ifs, ands or butts about that. No way some team takes him #1. Look at what happened to Mike Williams when he sat out a year, and he did it when the NFL screwed him, not by just being a jerk himself. If Bush does not sign, it will be a mark that a lot of teams will use against him.

I don't believe Reggie Bush has any intention of sitting out the season. He is merely putting up a smoke screen so that the Saints will give him what he wants.

i think he just doesnt want to play in new orleans, look at ricky...

Sean Payton is a solid offensive minded coach.... He knows how to ulitize players' talents.... I am sure that the hidden problem is Bush wants to be number one RB and not splitting the carries with McAllister.

2 things Bush demands for are number one rb and big bucks.
