08:02 AM ET 04.29 | It didn't take long for Reggie Bush to react to what he believed was a clear message from the Saints. Five years ago, he was the second overall pick in the draft. On Thursday night, [Bush] sounded like a player in search of a team for next season. The Saints running back tweeted: "It's been fun New Orleans" shortly after the team drafted Alabama's Mark Ingram in the first round. Bush, who like Ingram is a former Heisman Trophy winner, is scheduled to earn nearly $12 million next season. The Saints haven't said Bush is longer part of their plans, but it's doubtful they're willing to pay that steep of a price. Bush (broken fibula) was limited to eight games last season, rushing for 150 yards on 36 carries.

These athletes tweeting.....thought they were supposed to be football players?

Ingram may end up just as banged up. Time will tell.

I'd say the Saints draft pick spoke louder than some "tweet"...

Exactly...

... at least Bush was healthy in college.

Ingram is injured coming into the NFL.

What? Did he actually think that he was the starting RB?? Come on Reggie stop with the nonsense.

Please send him toi the New York Football Giants!. We could use him.... and the Jets too!

Again with the New York Football Giants. The New York Baseball Giants moved to the other coast in 1957. Hasn't anyone noticed that there are no other "New York Giants" besides the football team in New Jersey?

He just knows he can't tote the rock like Ingram. Ingram can also catch out of the backfield.

But Bush does do beautiful flips and stuff.

Saints like those Heisman running backs, 1) I hope Ingram can keep his, 2) I hope he stays healthy. Things seem to have gone downhill for Reggie since he dumped Kim

I would say that the Redskins will pick up Bush, except he's too young.

HA! And he bangs fine women.

That is one of the unfortunate byproducts of not being very successful in the NFL.

April 29, 2011  09:14 AM ET

12 million for a punt returner and 3rd down back is too much.

Reality-show trailer trash. 10 years from now when she has I-beam implants to support her sagging body parts, we're going to write our congressmen to get them to pass laws against even taking a picture of her.

Actually it might be a good thing if Reggie moves on to another team, he needs to start over.
