I heard last night on the ESPN draft special that Bush's deal could be completed early Friday. I heard a couple of things this morning that lead me to believe that ESPN is right and now the thing from the Bongo dude.
Nice. Anyways, we are very close to being done with Bush. It's just a matter of time. The plan is exactly as Jeff said, to announce it on Friday. Regardless, Bush will be the number pick come Saturday. Trade talks with other teams are almost non existant right now.
No, they're drafting Young. It's all a big smoke screen. He will play for free because he can live off the royalties from his BET reality show (I pray he doesn't really do that).
Excellent news. Also sounds like we are getting a fair deal for Bush as well. Thanks for all the updates KAS. You have been the voice of reason throughout all of this. IMO
From all that I've heard, it appears that all the major negotiating points (years, total dollars, etc) are done and they are down to the details. It would make sense that Bush's agents would be heading down to dot the i's and cross the t's.
That's exactly right. They are going to finish it off and get it attept to get it approved by Friday. McNair really wants to have Bush under contract before the draft. That's why he's taken a much more active role in this proess then ever before. The Texans feel that after coming off such a terrible season that having Reggie under contract immediately when we draft him will be great PR for the team.
Kubiak, just like everyone else in the organization loves Mario. The fact remains that Bush is the guy (that came from upstairs) and Kubiak has no problem with Bush either. Kubiak likes both guys. That's all I really know on that situation. I've heard some conflicting stuff but nobody really knows (at least not any of us) who Kubiak likes better. That's something that's going to be kept extra private.
Interesting that Kubiak really likes Mario, being that Kubiak is historically an offensive-minded guy. I would have thought he would be drooling over the possibilities of the Bush matchups so much as to pay little attention to the defensive guys (well, not little attention, but really only cursory attention).
They love them both. I haven't heard Kubiak prefers one over the other (just that McNair does). I think that's pure specualtion
