Loomis Unsure About Bringing Bush Back but Brees a Definite

Sounds like the kid will be gone next year (or 2012)...

While the New Orleans Saints are fully committed to attempting to sign quarterback Drew Brees (notes) to a contract extension, it is still unclear whether the team will attempt the same with running back Reggie Bush (notes). Both are entering the final year of their contracts.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis told Sirius Radio on Wednesday that it's clear that a contract will get done with Brees but that Bush, who will make $11.8 million in 2011, is less of a priority since he didn't deliver much in 2010 due to injuries. Read More Here

I think he'll be back

If not, they’ll trade him for something. I can’t believe that they’d cut him.

Because something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is

I’d believe the cut over the trade at this point….just because of the contract. Push comes to shove though…he’ll be back I think.

If Reggie's smart

He’ll take whatever renegotiation they offer. I believe he needs Payton more than Payton needs him at this point. He’s gotta show that he can stay healthy for a full year.

If staying healthy for a full year is the criteria

he’s screwed.

Payton doesn't really use him

so why would Reggie need Payton? Payton needs Drew Brees for his offense

There is nothing supporting they'll get rid of him.

Haha. All this says is that they’re prioritizing brees, who is the QB an unquestioned best player.

Two Dat!! Who Dat!?

juxtapose that with last years comment...

Payton flat out said Bush isn’t going anywhere. If he’s fine in his role, sure restructure and stay but if you saw some of his comments, “I don’t call the plays…” “I can be a guy worth $100 million…” then you know this cat isn’t happy with where’s he’s at, he’s 25 (26 really) and only a few good years left. He’s smart enough to say the right things, so as to not get the backlash from fans but I don’t think he’s gonna want to stay considering even if he’s healthy he’s not getting the rock.
