Bush, Saints Agree To Deal

PFT = The National Enquirer of the NFL

That's bullshit. They are a slight step up.

1) They DO break stories on occasion.
2) Florio's a pretty funny guy.


Not sure where all the hate comes from Harvey. They don't kiss Packer ass all the time? Florio rips everyone.

Are you this Florio or something? I don't go there anymore. When I did in the past, half their shit was garbage (conjecture, half truths, insulting, etc.).

Me? No, but he's fun to read unless you're wound up tighter than a ducks ass. Not saying you are mind you, but he has some pretty funny stuff and he breaks an occasional story. I 100% disagree he's the national enquirerer becasue 100% of their stuff is bull shit. That's all I'm saying.

PFT is a good read. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Hey, I have the opinion that it's like the N.E. I got that opinion from reading it for a few weeks. I've decided not to read it anymore. Case closed for me.

Reggie Bush (Saints),

RB Reggie Bush, the second overall pick in the April 29 draft, ended his two-day holdout and was expected to join his teammates on the field Monday after missing the first three days -- and at least five practices -- of training camp. While financial details of the deal were still being sorted out Sunday, the contract is expected to be in the neighborhood of $60 million with about $26 million -- perhaps a little more -- in guaranteed money.

The contract was believed to be for five years with an option for a sixth season.

If you can't enjoy Reggie Bush, then you don't like football.

Tyrone Culver makes a nice open field tackle on Bush at 6:07 into the video.

I just looked at the Saints' roster, and I don't see them being 4-deep in quality RBs. They have Deuce McAllister coming off an ACL tear, Reggie Bush, and Michael Bennett. Unless I missed somebody, I guess the 4th guy would be Aaron Stecker, and he's really not all that good. He had a big opportunity last year with McAllister down, and only managed 363 rushing yards and no scores in 4 starts. For comparison, Gado had almost 600 yards and 6 scores in 5 starts, running behind our very suspect line.

I don't see the Saints looking to trade Bennett with the uncertainty of McAllister's recovery, and with Bush being a rookie who did not carry the load in college.

But I could be wrong ...

Chiefs acquire RB Bennett in trade with Saints

NFL.com wire reports

RIVER FALLS, Wis. (Aug. 2, 2006) -- The Kansas City Chiefs acquired running back Michael Bennett from the New Orleans Saints, but insisted that didn't mean Priest Holmes would retire.

Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, is back home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting medical clearance to resume his career. He sustained a neck and spinal cord injury in a game last October and lost his starting job to Larry Johnson.

"This is not an indication that Priest is not coming back," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said.

The Saints traded Bennett for an undisclosed choice in the 2007 NFL draft.

Holmes was placed on the physically unable to perform list before the opening of training camp and will likely remain there for the foreseeable future.

"He's comfortable with that and we're comfortable with that," Peterson said. "We'll continue to monitor his physical well being. I've had conversations with him and he's right now where he is. But the doctors have still not given him a release to have contact."

Bennett, who signed as a free agent with New Orleans in March, appeared in 64 games with Minnesota. His best year was 2002 when he had 1,296 yards on 255 carries.
