Comments on: Reggie Bush gets $9.75 million over two years http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/28/reggie-bush-gets-9-75-million-over-two-years/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:05:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: nomoreseasontix http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/28/reggie-bush-gets-9-75-million-over-two-years/#comment-1153514 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:18:14 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=142697#comment-1153514 Hmmm…. Averaged a little over 400 yds and 3 tds per season. They must think he’s worth that much as a return man. His career numbers don’t even make it look like he’s worth a camp invite at the veteran minimum.
I don’t get it. Name recognition? He’s clearly not worth the money based on what he’s done over 5 years.

The only way Bush is getting #5 is if he changes positions to a Kicker or QB.

You think Reggie wanted respect that couldn’t be farther from the true. What he really wanted was money and not to be around a rookie running back with a NC ring & Heisman that the NCAA say’s he can keep. I know that probably burns him, kind of like in 2008 when Leinart was so close to winning a SB ring without ever having to step on the field.

Mark Ingram is a great guy and deserves a chance to make his own way in New Orleans without Bush grumbling in the corner that he’s not getting enough attention.

I can see him in the slot, motioning across Ronnie Brown (or whoevers face) and taking the Jet Sweep and being pretty efficient..

A little overpaid, but I’m not counting him out..

Dan Carpenter currently wears #5. Odds are HE is seeing some of that 9.75 heading to HIS bank account to change numbers!

RBs can’t wear #5. Has to be 20-49.

Can RBs where numbers that low? Or am I missing a joke here?

He’s very good at what he does, but what he does is pretty narrow. Obviously, he never lived up the the hype coming out of college, but strictly in terms of pro-level talent, Bush has it. This contract probably overpays him, but Bush will at least add an element of excitement to an otherwise boring team.
