Reggie Bush a Packer in 2010?

EDIT: Please read again, major miscalculation on my part in orig post.

Grant's has a $4.5 million salary as a base in 2010 (It was a base of $3 mil plus the $1.5 mil of yardage bonus). There are no more incentives for him to earn for that year other than a Pro Bowl bonus.

But he does get more money. He receives a $1.25 mil roster bonus in March 2010 and another $ 500,000 on a per game basis during the 2010 season (if he is active in a game, he gets 1/16th of the 500 G). His total take for 2010 would be $6.25 million if he can stay healthy and if he is not replaced by Bush

In 2011, he can earn no further yearly yardage incentives and his pay drops to $5.75 million. This is all cash he receives in a given year and does not reflect the cap value or the cost of releasing him. He has essentially taken his 4 year $20 mil deal and turned it into 4 years, $22 million if he has been active for every game. He could get $750,000 more if he gets his workout bonus for each year in 09, 10, and 11.

Whoops, forgot two parts. He has run for 2,452 yards under the deal. If he hits 3,600 or above, he can earn an additional $2-4 million at the end of his last season. 3,600-4,100 gets him $2 mil, 4,100 and above gets him $4 mil at the end of 2011.

He also can earn a 15000/50000 bonus if he is top ten in the NFC/top five in NFC in any year. He has to have hit the lower number.

He also gets 250000 for a Pro Bowl berth.

With another year like this one, he will hit the $2 mil bonus level with one more year remaining. So while he has turned this deal into 4 years and $22 mil, he will likely hit 4 years, $24 mil and have a good shot at 4/$26 mil.

When Bush has back 2 back good games let's talk.

6 plus million for a decoy.

Saints have way too many weapons on that team. I think Bush would put up better numbers in GB. He would be perfect in our offense as a 3rd down back and a good slot reciever in the WC offense. Also would give us one of the best return men in the league. He might not be worth 6M but he is far from a decoy. He'll never end up in Green Bay though, watch him to go to the Skins.

Take his free agent money and sign two other players that are just as good.

Ty didn't call him a decoy...snake did.

Way to many weapons? Seriously? Not when he arrived. They don't have a great back..and they hardly have more weapons than the pack.

Bush is a guy ty loved in college. But, as this game proved, once again, Bush has never shown any sort of sustained success.

Ty asked about 2 games in a row. Hasn't happened yet.
