08:06 AM ET 02.23 | After Tuesday's release of Jeremy Shockey, who's next? If you're thinking the answer is Reggie Bush, you might be right. And you might be wrong. This one is going to be a very tough call and I'm glad I don't have to make it. Coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis will have to make the decision and let's take a glance at some of the numbers they'll be looking at. Bush is scheduled to make $11.8 million in base salary in the final season of his contract. More importantly, he's scheduled to have a $16 million cap figure. Assuming a labor deal gets done and there is a salary cap, there's no way Bush will play at that figure.

Bush helps the offense more than his numbers show, because when he's on the field the defense has to account for him on every snap or face getting burned. Nonetheless, he's just not worth that kind of cap hit for the role he plays. Restructure or release.

If he could only stay healthy for a whole season, this might not be an issue.

more proof that there needs to be a 2 to 3 year Rookie Salary limitation...let these guys prove they are worth the big money before paying them the big money.

Only a very few rookies make the big bucks. VERY few. Second rounders get in the 450K rang, after that less and less. If they see it at all. Guaranteed money is all they are sure of and average career ( if you make it ) is a little under four years. Most times not even enough to qualify for pension from league of any kind.
Look deeper. Past the big names.
