Reggie Bush : Does your team need him?

[Coachnorm]

Reggie Bush appears to on the roster bubble with the Saints. There has been a little speculation that he might be traded but I don't think it will happen. The main reason Bush will be let go is he is due $7 million dollars and his contract would have to be reworked to be more friendly to the other team. Right now I don't think any team deals for him because they realize that Bush will be dropped and why give up any picks when all you have to do is outbid the other teams for his services to get him. I would speculate that his market value would be around $ 3-4 million. but it may end up being even cheaper if the new CBA makes every 4 year guy an unrestricted player. This year may have a glut of good free agents out there and teams willing to play the free agent market could see better prices as well as better talent that they can add to their team.

So, let's just assume that Reggie Bush goes on the market and ends up being available for decent backup running back pricing. Does your team need him?? How would you envision him helping your team. For example, look at a team like the Falcons, Norwood always banged up as a #2 every year, shows flashes but always injured for a large part of the year. Snelling looked good but started to get dinged up also as his workload increased. maybe a Reggie Bush would be a nice addition to that puzzle.

So Let the homer in you flow and tell us if your team got Reggie Bush would that be a good thing?

My team is the Saints, so no....Time for Reggie to move on.

Couple of things here.

First, I don't believe that Bush will be gone from N.O. I think they rework his contract, he eats a big salary cut, and they revert to the days of the early year with alot of run and using alot of Bush on the outlet and screens. I think that and a WHOLE lot to graham makes that offense work.

Second, no I don't see the Eagles interested. Not for that price, and not since they already have McCoy.

My team is the Colts. They wil never go after him, but I would love it if they did. Instead of asking Reggie to run through the line, ask him to catch dump offs. Edge was one of the best pass catching RBs in the game and Peyton used him as an outlet alot. If you could couple Reggie with the rookie Carter, I think that could work magic for the Colts. Short answer for me is, I definitely don't think the Colts need him or would pay for him, but I'd love to get him on the cheap and use him in two back sets, on 3rd down and for punt returns - sort of like the Jets used Leon Washington a few years ago.

Woodhead >>> Bush (there's a joke in there somewhere)

Seriously though, the Pats will not go after Bush and honestly don't need him. Woodhead isn't exactly the same type of RB as Bush but with him and BGE, plus the two rookie RBs their backfield is covered.

Where I do think he'd be a nice fit is STL as a compliment to SJax. Bush benefits from the turf and Bradford gets that swing pass RB as a great check-down. With Defenses forced to honor the RBs on every down it would create space for STLs young WRs helping them (or at least one of them) to develop with a little less pressure.

The Lions...

Hell no!

 

[Remote Controller]

I had thoughts that he might like to go to Green Bay and replace Brandon Jackson, then the Pack pulled the trigger on Green from Hawaii. Nah.... they don't need him. The other place that made some sense until the draft was Atlanta, then they drafted Rodgers.

Not really. I dont think any team really NEEDS Reggie Bush given his history. I think he is more of a luxury item.
