Bush, Saints expected to part ways - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-cole_bush_time_with_saints_coming_to_end_042911)

Running back Reggie Bush’s (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7751/)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7751/news) days with the New Orleans Saints (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/nor/) all but came to an end Thursday night when the team selected running back Mark Ingram with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/draft).


“It’s been fun New Orleans,” Bush posted on his Twitter page Thursday night.


Bush was not expected to return to the Saints next season regardless of what the team did because he has so far declined to take a pay cut when the subject was broached before the NFL lockout began. Bush is due approximately $11.8 million in the 2011 season in base salary and bonuses.

Guess I was a year early on the Bush rumors

I think it's less likely he comes here though, compared to last year.

If we take a RB in the 2nd round it'll be Williams or LeShoure...but I don't think we will and look for Damien Berry as a 5th round option

I'd be happy with Leshoure

Of course by Berry, I meant Helu and Royster

Wish FA would start already. I'm getting as curious about everyone else now about this whole Vince Young talk

Reggie Bush is a bit of a dumba$$.

One Fletcher like Free Agent I haven't heard of linked to the Redskins is Barrett Rudd. What's the deal with him? Is Tampa planning to resign, to expensive, or doesn't fit the 3-4? I really believe that even though he'll cost a good amount it will still give you that star linebacker for years to come.

I'll be interested in seeing if the lack of repetition with the scheme is trumped by rested legs. I know Bush claims he was joking and all that but maybe his 'jokes' have a point. On the other hand more rest and less practice means more people flying around at full speed not knowing what they're doing.

After seeing what we got in the draft I am hoping that we target:

Paul Posluzny LB or Barrett Rudd LB
Brandon Mebane NT or Aubrayo Franklin NT or Alan Branch NT
Cullen Jenkins DE
Nnamdi Asomugha CB or Johnathan Joseph CB or Antonio Cromartie CB

Tyson Clabo RG and Robert Gallery LG Shift Corey to Center. Resign Jamal Brown.
