I don't have any specifics or anything, but I know for a fact Reggie said he knew he hadn't lived up to his contract and would be willing to renegotiate.

True, but renegotiating and taking a substantial pay cut are 2 different things. Reggie may agree to a slight pay cut, but all indications are he will not agree to anything substantial.

Regardless of where Reggie plays, there is one thing that is 100% for certain: He will take a substantial pay cut.

As soon as he understands this, he will begin to look around to see where the best place to play will be and that undoubtedly will be in NOLA with Payton and Brees. Loomis will probably offer Bush more than any other team simply because Payton will be pushing him to get his favorite toy back in the locker room.

If that's the case he won't be playing in the NFL this coming season.

I'm sure Al Davis would be more than willing to pay him top dollar.

Reggie Bush's latest comments another sign he wants out of New Orleans | NOLA.com

....Bush is acting like a man who doesn't want any part of New Orleans.
First came his post-draft "It's been fun New Orleans" tweet.
Then came the leaked story to Yahoo!Sports.com about his camp's interest in moving on. If you think the "Bush, Saints Expected to Part Ways" story did not come directly from Bush's agent Joel Segal then you're either hopelessly naïve or hopelessly in denial.
Then came the Saints' offseason conditioning sessions at Tulane University last week, at which Bush was conspicuously absent. He was one of a handful of Saints veterans still under contract not in attendance.
Finally, Bush might have hastened his Nola departure with a series of misguided tweets Monday night.
The first tweet: "Everybody complaining about the lockout! Shoot I'm making the most of it! Vacation, rest, relaxing, appearances here and there! I'm good!" Minutes later Bush added, "Right about now we would be slaving in 100 degree heat, practicing twice a day, while putting our bodies at risk for nothing."
The tweets sparked widespread criticism, some from even Bush's most ardent supporters.
The context of Bush's comments alone was not so egregious. Fact is, a lot of NFL players share Bush's sentiments about offseason conditioning.
But in light of his tenuous roster status and standing among the Saints fan base, the comments were at best ill-conceived and at worst downright dumb.
At the very least, they were ill-timed. Bush's comments came at a time when most of his teammates were gathered in New Orleans for the second week of informal workouts.
I'm sure many of his Saints teammates feel the same way as Bush. Yet almost all of them are in New Orleans, working out and trying to improve.
Sure, two-hour workouts in May likely won't win or lose a game for the Saints in September.
But it's the principle of the matter. It's a way of displaying leadership to your teammates, commitment to the common cause.
Bush has always thought of himself as a leader. He openly talked about stepping into that role after the 2008 season when veterans Deuce McAllister, Aaron Stecker and Mike Karney left his position group.
But time and time again, Bush has failed to live up to the requirements of the job. Monday was only the latest example.

Never trust anyone named Bush. Great lesson for today. They are not leaders.

Sources: Saints allowed Bush to gauge interest - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Latest rumor mill in another thread, but seems like it belongs here.

I posted that story the other day, but on the same day, WWL contacted Bush, who said the story isn't true.
