The Facts:
The Saints' contract talks with Bush are "proceeding on a normal course," according to GM Mickey Loomis. But, with only two of the NFL's 32 first-round draft picks having signed contracts, the "normal course" almost certainly will take the negotiations into next week, if not longer.
Reported by the New Orleans Times-Picayune
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Neither Loomis nor Bush's agent, Joel Segal, would comment on details of the negotiations. But history and common sense dictate that Bush won't be on hand when the Saints report for training camp Thursday evening. That said, Times-Picayune staffer Mike Triplett dismissed
last week's reports indicating Bush might be willing to sit out the entire season. ... In case you missed it, Bush -- the second pick overall -- likely will seek a deal that approaches the six-year, $54 million contract No. 1 pick Mario Williams received from Houston.
