I don't know who is more stupid in this deal. Reggie Bush for wanting 1/4 of the team's payroll as a running back? Or the 'Aints for offering 1/5 of the team's payroll to a running back? Has anyone in this negiotiation paid attention to the NFL over the past 7 or 8 years? Running backs are positions where you stockpile lo-cost players.
But he is the next coming of every player bionically made into one person. Give him the whole Saint Payroll before he takes a snap in the NFL
With VY getting a contract worth more than Mario, I definitely see a Bush hold-out where he misses a signficant amount of training camp at a minimum. If Bush wanted #1 pick money before VY signed his deal, he is definitely going to demand that at a minimum.
Why don't you guys think Bush deserves #1 money? He is clearly as good as or better than Mario Williams. He is the reason the saints fans have sold a record number of season tickets already, he is the reason saints fans and fans all around the world are buying Reggie Bush jerseys, he is going to make this organization a killing as far as money is concerned. The Saints were circling the drain and now they are on their way back up all because of one player, I think he deserves it not sure how anyone couldn't think that.
If it is really that simple, then why did VY get #1 pick money? Was that just a Bud Adams thing? A fluke?
unbelievable. another bs sports journalism article. just throwing crap against the wall to see if it sticks.
