But as PFT's Mike Florio explains, the deal hinges on the Dolphins working out an acceptable contract with Bush. Due to earn a base salary of $11.8 million in 2011, Bush will have to take a pay cut. For Miami, Bush would make an ideal compliment to power-rushing rookie Daniel Thomas. For the Saints, it means a sigh of relief. As Florio put it: "If Bush tears an ACL or busts an Achilles’ tendon in training camp, New Orleans will owe him the full $11.8 million." Also, by trading him the Saints will be able to ensure that he ended up out of their division -- and out of their conference.
