That would be a hell of a lot of money tied up in the Rb position.

salary cap probably will be the reason they cant play together for long

McAllister signed a fifty million dollar contract extension last summer so I would think he's untradable due to the cap hit at least for a few years. He'll be 28 and coming off injury this year so by the time a trade would be possible he'd be pushing thirty and his value wouldn't be that great. The Saints signed Michael Bennett who appears about the only RB in the league with the size/speed ratio of Bush. Probably the about the worst place for Bush to land IMHO and double sucky for me since I own Deuce and the first pick in the draft and pretty much have to take Reggie due to potential. I wasn't jazzeda about Bush going to Houston but going to New Orleans is the absolute worst case scenario for me and anyone else in the same situtation with Deuce and the first pick in the draft.Have to see how it plays out but right now it pretty much sucks for Deuce/first pick holders from my vantage point.

Michael Bennett's value is about equal to a handful of navel lint right now.

I'm a Deuce owner and just looking at it realistically. He's there for a while.
At the beginning of last season, he signed an 8 year extension worth 50.1 million, with 12.5 million signing bonus.
If they traded him today, that would be a 9.5 million escalated hit to 2007's cap, if they trade him after June 1, 2007 then it would be a 1.5 million hit on the 2007 cap, and an 8 million hit on the 2008 cap. Trade June 1, 2008, it would be a 1.5 million hit on the 2008 cap, and a 6.5 million hit on the 2009 cap.
I think they could swallow a 6.5 million hit, maybe even an 8 million one, but not 9.5, that's a big chuck of change to be carrying around in dead weight. The sad thing is that if they trade him next year he's approaching 29. If they wait anything longer than that, he's a 30 year old RB with one messed up knee.
As a Deuce owner, the best scenario is that he rests that knee this year by not doing so much with Bush there, but get him out of there the year after. Problem is that Deuce is not a complainer, he won't bi#ch about moving out of NO, and if he's a team player, we might be seeing the new USC version of the New Orleans Saints. The role of Lendale being played by McAllister.

True. I think there's a chance he could be traded or released this year or more likely next year. Assuming they dont move Deuce.

Well stated.Deuce will still get his 20-25 touches/game pounding out the yards between the tackles. Bush will get around 17-20 touches, probably 13 rushes and 4 catches out of the backfield.

There is such a thing as contract renegotiation to consider. If Deuce stinks it up this year because of his injury, he could resign for a lower value to stay on the team. From a non-fantasy perspective, you have to like that 1-2 punch, especially if you agree that Bush isnt an every down back like his detractors have proclaimed.

This exchange just burst a blood vessel in my brain.
If you are agreeing that Bennett's value is that of navel lint (great line, by the way!) then exactly how do you see that trade working , or as you say, "he could be traded or released this year or more likely next year".Michael Bennett traded to Arizona for a new golden retriever which they train to get the tee back after kick offs?
I own the 1st pick in the draft and am very disappointed in where Bush landed. RBBC to the 3rd power. I'm going to be left with absolute crap at RB other than Bush (who won't produce anything close to starter numbers sharing the field with Deuce) so at least I can look forward to another high draft pick next year. My one hope is Deuce gets injured again (nice, I love wishing that on others...) so Bush has to carry more of the load.

They could save money by using a rookie or nobody FA 3RB like most teams do. Of the 2 million in salary, I'd imagine the majority of it comes next season. Which means the team could save close to a million dollars by releasing or trading Bennett. Yet that contract would be attractive to a team looking for a RB2. Another reason that next year is more likely is because of Deuce's injury and Bush's inexperience.This exchange just burst a blood vessel in my brain.

I can see someone willing to trade something for him if the Saints take the $1M cap hit for him.

It just hit me. Bennett gets traded to Denver for a LB and rushes for 1500/10.

Has anyone considered a Bush hold-out? Was money what kept him from going #1? Can anyone see his agent saying he should have been the first pick in the draft so he should be paid like he was? As a Duece owner this may just be wishful thinking, but it seems pretty plausable to me. Does anyone know who Bush's agent is?

Bingo. This one has all the makings of a hold-out.Bush wanted $30mm+ guaranteed to play for the Texans. Last year's #2 (Ronnie Brown), signed for $20mm guaranteed. Bush is looking at a 30%+ paycut from his expectations just 48 hours ago.Has anyone considered a Bush hold-out? Was money what kept him from going #1?

The Saints have all the leverage in the world with both McAllister and Bennett on the roster. This one is going to get ugly.

Joel Segal is his agent. Loomis and Russ Ball have a pretty good record of getting guys signed, of course this is a unique situation. Interesting side note: Segal is Saints DE Will Smith's agent, so they've dealt with him before.Has anyone considered a Bush hold-out? Was money what kept him from going #1?

The league is going to make sure Reggie Bush is signed and on the field for the Monday night game to reopen the Superdome. He may miss a lot of camp, but he won't miss that game.
