49ers Should Go After Reggie Bush
« on: January 16, 2010, 04:37:53 PM »
After watching him torch the Cards as both a return man and a rb I would love to see us land him this off season.  Pair him with Gore, Crabs, VD, and Morgan and we could be a special offense.  He would more then solve our return problems and what a weapon to have on offense.

Wow, he played great last night. D, we were not the only ones who saw it either.

It all comes down to how much money he wants.

No doubt they did and it (the bread) does. 

Thing is as much as he would be a great addition, when I started the thread in the back of my mind I was thinking that IF we do not solve our problems on the OL & at qb it won't make any difference.  Now solve those issues and add him and we could have something special on that side of the ball.

As always with FAs, it comes down to "at what price?"

Bush is interesting because he can help the return game and because he can be that "change of pace" guy the 49ers could use. After his game against the Cards the price for Bush might have gone up a bit. But it was against a team that just surrendered 90 points over two games! Ha!

I'd like to see him play for the niners.

Normally, I would think the likelihood to be remote, BUT...

With the stadium vote coming up in 2010, the Niners might need that extra PR push that a Bush signing would give them. Could that be worth an extra mill or two to the team? Probably.

Reggie would certainly bring excitement to the Niners. And he's a premier return man, no question. Certainly cost is always a factor, but consider that if the Niners do nothing at the QB spot this year, they've got one of the lowest-paid starters at that position. Gore makes some money, but no one else at RB earns much at all. With Bruce gone our WRs are relatively cheap, even with Crabtree's contract. Nobody on the o-line is paid ridiculous money. So it seems to me this would be the perfect year to add some salary to the offensive side. If anything, this team has too much money invested on the defensive side, and in some cases (Clements, Lewis) you have to wonder whether those guys will be back at their present salaries. So to me, if the team believes a guy like Reggie Bush would improve the offense (IMO yes), improve the return game (yes), and put butts in the seats, he would be worth a pretty significant investment. But who knows what any team will do in this upcoming uncapped year.

Makes sense.  It all depends on what Bush's worth is on the FA market, because I don't expect the Saints to swallow that amount of money for what he's done so far.  They could if they wanted and if they win the SB and he's a big factor, they might have to, but I think he'll be available, and if the price isn't too outrageous, I think he'd be a good addition and allow us to cross that off the draft list.  We also have an advantage in that we are in California and Reggie's from San Diego, and his HS buddy is our QB...at least for the moment.

It would be good, either for the team and for PR. Expensive? yes, but sometimes you just gotta shut up and pay.

Excactly NOLA, also keep in mind that in all likleyhood if the NFLPA and the league do not reach an agreement we are looking at an uncapped year.

Agree with both of you. I have no problem bringing him in if he wants to come in. I dont see the saints keeping him unless he takes a pay cut.

Anyone hear Mort this morning?

Said something about Bush not taking much less than the 8 mill he's owed.

And don't be suprised if Pete Carroll makes a run for him.

He thinks one good game every million years justifies his pay demands but some fool team will pay it. TOO inconsistent, too easily injured imo.

He may prove me wrong, but I don't think he's done close to enough over the past few seasons to justify anywhere near that kind of pay day.

I agree twins. I can't see any team paying him 8 million for being a decoy and being able to have a great game once or twice a year. But sadly, like you said, someone will probably be dumb enough to pay him that. The only way he would get it would be to have a contract full of incentives

I think N.O. would have a big PR headache if they let him walk. They'd be better off tagging & trading him.

Well he got a TD to make up for the fumble....but still he is way overpriced.

Unless your name is Brees it's pretty hard to shine as an individual skill player on the Saints offense. Just look at the stats from the NFC game.

I'm not syaing he's worth 8 mill a year - far from it in fact - but maybe he can be put to better use on an offense with less weapons and a lesser QB. Like, oh I don't know, the 49ers for example?

Actually when you look at it, our weapons compare favorably with the Saints.  We just don't have Brees pulling the trigger or an offensive mind like Payton calling the plays.

Bush isn't worth that, and no way I'd even consider giving that kind of money to him if I were an NFL team.  He can be effective if used in a multitude of ways, but he's not worth that kind of money.

Frankly, unless you are saving babies from cancer, then nobody is worth $8 mil a year.

He has had some spectacular games (4 TDs in his rookie season against us  Tongue) but over 4 years he has no more than 10 starts in a season (injury-prone) and has had 17 fumbles along with 28 TDs.

I would love to have him as a kick returner but he will command to much $$$

With the 10 season looking more and more like an uncapped year it will be interesting too see how much bread we are willing to spend to go out and get a R. Bush or someone else.

Sources: Bush to return to Saints
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4950945

INDIANAPLOLIS -- Despite speculation that his $8 million base salary for 2010 might prompt the New Orleans Saints to release Reggie Bush, team sources and two sources close to the four-year veteran said late Friday that the former USC star will return to the defending Super Bowl champions, likely under his current contract.

Yep. Our RB discussions can now move on to Sproles, Spiller etc.

I wonder if they'll really pay him 8 mill though?

Deep at rb yet they are willing to let Sharper walk and pay Bush?  I still do not see them giving him 8 mil. though stranger things have happened.
