Reggie Bush has signed with the New Orleans Saints, ending his brief holdout. Bush's contract is said to be for six years and worth upwards of $60 million dollars, with $26.3 million guaranteed. Surprisingly, despite initial rumblings, Bush has not been guaranteed more money than #1 overall pick Mario Williams, it's actually $200k less. Reactions to the Bush signing?

I knew it would not be long...hey, at least he got himself a lot better deal than the one the Saints got with Ricky Williams...that one was a laugher.

Yeah, but this makes me wonder - what happened to all the talk of Bush holding the Saints ransom for some unreal record figure? Demanding more than Williams since he was the consensus #1 player and should've been picked first overall? Was that all just media BS? Did the kid have a change of heart?

I think neither side wanted to let go of the goodwill they had generated in the area...and neither one wanted to be seen as a bad guy...so things got done a bit quicker...and I think houston was probably in a better finanical situation than the Saints.
