发帖数: 764 | 1 It's been a long day for transactions, but things are going late into the
evening in the craziest week we can remember … and according to Jay Glazer
of FOX Sports, the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins have agreed to the
terms of a major trade — the Saints have agreed to send running back Reggie
Bush(notes) to the Dolphins.
Glazer reports that Joel Segal, Bush's agent, was negotiating into the night
with both teams, and engineered an agreement contingent on Bush agreeing to
sign a new contract with Miami instead of staying with the Saints at a
reduced rate. On Thursday morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Reggie
Bush agreed to a two-year deal with the Dolphins, which makes the trade a
done deal.
Bush will help the Dolphins with its need for a running game in what is most
likely their post-Ronnie Brown(notes)/Ricky Williams era. There would still
be a need for a bigger back, which could put the Dolphins in line to take a
look at Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber(notes), who will be
released this week. Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland and head coach Tony Sparano are
very familiar with Barber from their time with the Bill Parcells-era
Cowboys from 2003 through 2006; Barber was selected in the fourth round of
the 2005 draft.
As for Bush, his career has been a checkered one. His stats have been
unimpressive on their face for such a high draft pick (second overall in the
2006 draft) — just 2,090 yards rushing on 524 carries and 294 catches for
2,142 yards.
However, Bush does provide great schematic value in ways that don't show up
on stat sheets — he forces defenses to adjust with his speed and
versatility, and the Dolphins are looking to break out of the doldrums on
offense. Bush might also be playing with quarterback Kyle Orton(notes), whom
the Dolphins are talking about acquiring in a trade with the Denver Broncos
