uh oh! Bush pulls Manning on Saints - The Orange Mane

MutePacket · 04-28-2006, 09:27 PM

SEGAL PLANNING A BAYOU POWER PLAY

A league source tells us that agent Joel Segal plans to take the position that tailback Reggie Bush will not play for the New Orleans Saints.

The move, the source surmises, is aimed at allowing Segal to save some face after blowing Bush's shot to be the first overall pick in the draft.

The source also tells us that the Texans opted to tab defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 overall pick due to Bush and Segal's sky-high monetary demands. Segal, we're told, wanted $30 million in guaranteed money -- a 25 percent increase over the $24 million in guaranteed money that quarterback Alex Smith received as the No. 1 overall pick in 2005. Although Bush's recent P.R. problems didn't, we hear, play a role in the Texans' decision, word is that the multiple issues regarding Bush and his family caused the Texans to conclude that the fan base would be more likely to accept the decision to draft Williams.

great, we now draft players because of their money demands

Orange_Beard · 04-28-2006, 09:31 PM

Worked out for Manning. Why not?

SoCalBronco · 04-28-2006, 09:32 PM

This could actually work out for Reggie financially if he lands with the Jets.

MutePacket · 04-28-2006, 09:33 PM

do u think Jets could afford Bush

Old Dude · 04-28-2006, 09:33 PM

Endorsements.

Reggie don't want his next free house in no flood zone.

The Jets would be nuts not to invest in Bush if he falls to them, but I would be hard pressed to believe they shouldnt seriously debate between a QB draftee as well.

Hotrod · 04-28-2006, 09:35 PM

Sweet get him Shanny do it

Kaylore · 04-28-2006, 09:37 PM

The Jets would make the most sense. You're going to lose Martin and he would sell a lot of jerseys out of the shoot. Production is irrelevant for the first two years because the New York hype always overplays players' ability.

The only down I see is if Lord Pennington can't get his arm to work, then they have no QB.

Kaylore · 04-28-2006, 09:39 PM

I was just thinking, the second round money is based on the first, so the Texans actually did owners everywhere a favor by not caving to ridiculous demands. Bush CANNOT get his big pay day now.

Orange_Beard · 04-28-2006, 09:40 PM

Drop Lienart drop. Come to Shanny..............

Vegas_Bronco · 04-28-2006, 09:41 PM

Hurrican BUSH hits the country - This one shake the country to the very core -

This just in: 'Bush' is calling to dissolve FEMA all by himself- No Senator group is needed, the Superdome funding has disappeared, and the levies will not be rebuilt, gas prices soar to $5.00 per gallon, Limbaugh posts bail and says he didn't know he was taking RX drugs into his body, Barry Bonds didn't use steroids, Saints plan to move to San Antonio or LAS VEGAS!!!

Holy Balls.... this is going to be exciting

Ratboy · 04-28-2006, 09:45 PM

I doubt the Saints want him to play tailback anyways. If Saints do select him, He'll be traded before the day is over with anyways.

eddie mac · 04-28-2006, 09:46 PM

ESPN is reporting that 5 teams are looking to trade up to No2. Rumoured to be the Jets, Packers, 49ers, Raiders and Cardinals.

Jens1893 · 04-28-2006, 09:48 PM

i hope oakland trades up and takes leinart

Dr. Broncenstein · 04-28-2006, 09:49 PM

I hope the saints stay put and take D Brick.... all hell will then break loose... It will be craziness the likes we haven't seen since the OJ trial...

Jason in LA · 04-28-2006, 09:50 PM

I don't think this threat means much. The Saints aren't going to draft him anyways. They are going to trade that pick, like the Texans should have.

MechanicalBull · 04-28-2006, 09:50 PM

On the bottom ticker on espn news it says that Bush's agent told Sal Paolantonio that the Saints plan on taking Bush. and nothing on so called pulling a Manning.

It's pretty funny how a lot of people call it pulling a Manning while there was also some QB in the 1983 draft can't quite remember his name that also said he won't play for a specific team haha. Lets just say I'm glad Elway decided not to play for Baltimore.

All money is based off that first pick. Segal just cost his Brethren mucho Dinero and probably lost any future potential #1 picks

I can imagine the other agents next year:

"You want to go with SEGAL

The guy that cost every pick a four percent loss in contract money. Feel free to call me on your second deal

The Raiders? It's probably for Leinert, then. If they trade up for Bush I will laugh all night.
