Go camping Bush
Reggie Bush needs to end the holdout.
I know he was, in my eyes, the best player in the 2006 NFL Draft, but he shouldn't be the highest paid player.
There is a staggered system in place for rookie contracts for a reason.
The Saints screwed it up when they told him he was going to be treated like a No. 1. But he shouldn't.
Ever day he holds out can potentially limit his future. Running backs in the NFL last about 3, or 4 years, so I can see how every little bit helps. But $3 to $4 million in contract guarantees is small potatoes when you're gonna' get somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 million.
How greedy can you be?
Reggie Bush in my mind is already the NBA's LeBron James.
He comes into the league with more endorsement money than I can fathom. No, he didn't get a $70 million dollar sneaker deal, but the guys got some ridiculous marketing pull.
He hasn't proved himself in an NFL setting, so I guess his agent has taken reigns over Reggie, who knows.
I'll compare any other RB, as a current rookie to that of last year’s situation. Pick No. 5 was Cadillac Williams - signed right away. Pick No. 4 was Cedric Benson.
Both got hurt, but Williams was able to play through his injury. And low and behold Williams ended being the Rookie of the Year.
He had his contract signed and delivered, and reported to training camp the day it opened. Benson held out, lost his job and tried to play catch up to Thomas Jones the rest of the year.
No for New Orleans sake, Reggie sign your stinking millionaire contract and get to work.
You haven't earned the privilege to holdout yet. You’re no Emmitt Smith.
The only way to earn money is play...so go play.
