It could be his camp floating a rumor to get Benson to losen the purse strings. I could be wrong but I think the Saints are pretty cheap no?

They'll pay him. Regardless of whether he pans out or not, his upside is too much to pass on. It would be very damaging to let him go. A franchise like the Saints needs a name like Bush.

I don't know the truth to this rumor..but assuming that it is true...

this is what needs to happen.

A team needs to bite the bullet and say **** off. Also the rest of the owners and the league needs to support
this team.

ie....lets say the Saints tell Bush to take a hike if his demands are insanne. The NFL should award New Orleans with some type of compensation...ie..an extra 1st round pick in the next draft.

secondy...the rest of the owners need to blackball this player. The rest of the owners must not draft or sign this guy the following year. THe owners need to stand together for their own good.

If this happens.....lets see if another player wants to pull this garbage.

Sadly thanks to douchebags like Dan Snyder..this will never be possible.

I agree that that would likely work but I have a few questions:

1.) Where do they get the extra first round pick? I mean does it matter that Bush was drafted number 2 so should the team get an extra top 5? Becuase that seems greatly unfair to the rest of the league.
2.) What gaurntee is there that another team won't try to get their hands on Bush? Dnever would go after him along with A LOT of other teams.
3.) What is top stop a team from abusing that system? Example : Say the Dolphins didn't want Ronnie Brown or any of the first round talent in the '05 draft. Now they could draft any of them, never even try to sign him to get another first round pick in '06.
4.) And then you made the best point, a jerk like Snyder will not let this happen just to be a jerk.

Basically do some fine tuning, I will steal your idea and hand it to the NFL headquaters and try and get the credit for it.

What they need to do is simple... PUT A CAP ON ROOKIE SALARY!

It makes no sense at all that these guys who have proven NOTHING in the NFL will make many times more money then players who have a strong track record. And the SB and overall cap value goes up every year. They league should rewrite the CBA to put a cap on rookie contracts, something like; The top 16 can't exceed the Franchise Tag value for their position and the rest of the first rounders cap out at the Transition Tag.
