from Jay Glazers Twitter account...
I'm reporting the Saints and Fins have worked out terms of a trade for RB Reggie Bush, contingent on Bush agreeing to a new contract w Fins

Bush's agent Joel Segal negotiating w Dolphins tonight. It also hinges upon Bush taking deal and not deciding to stick w NO at reduced rate

It was breaking news on the NFL network...

Late night "excuse me?" when I read the thread title... Orton-Bush would be a nice pair to add to the offense for sure.

Bush helps in a lot of ways. Can't knock the trade. Bush/Thomas are a clear upgrade over Ricky/Ronnie.

just heard this morning on my way into work on ESPN radio.  wow.  I didn't think this would happen.  not sure how I feel about this.  he's not an everyday back, in between the tackles runner, but he does provide a nice option on the perimeter and can move.

hope this can add to the Dolphins OFF

how many everydown backs are there in the NFL these days? Not as many as you think. Most teams split up the duties. Unless you have an AP, Chris Johnson type its a time-share.

I agree.  just surprised they pulled this off.  with their options dwindling (williams re-sign with CAR and bradshaw asking $$$), he is the best case scenario with what was left in the FA.  I love to see Bush make 15-20 plays a game and return some kicks.  hope he create a spark for the Phins.

Adding Bush is fills many voids.

1) Punt Returner

2) Another Slot WR on 3rd down. Now 4-WR sets with Bess and Bush in the slot matched up with lower tier CB's, Safties, and OLB....match-up nightmare for opponents

3) A RB with more spring in his step than Ricky/Ronnie

The days of 15 plays and 11 minute scoring drives could be gone. One little swing pass to Bush and he has the ability to take it to the house and out-run people and make people miss. Ricky/Ronnie can't make people miss and can't out-run people. We have a home run hitter. CHUNK-YARDAGE is the key term. Bush can give us CHUNK YARDAGE. No more 3 or 4 yard plays and slow moving football

Call me nuts...but I would love this move more if they also could find a way to bring Ricky back. Say what you will, the guy still moved the pile up the middle.  I would love to see him for one more year.

I would 2nd that.

I am wondering why they traded for a guy that was likely to be released this weekend.

they just drafted a "workhouse" back to handle all the starter carries. i can't understand why this was ever an issue in the thinking here...

good to see they have some freaking belief in the guys they draft to come in and do their jobs. they can use reggie as a josh cribbs type in this new offense. besides the fact that he can contribute on special teams.

This pretty much guarantees that Ricky and Ronnie are gone.

^^^ i mean that is why you get paid top dollar as a gm to make those decisions. otherwise, you could have joe blow putting a team together. especially on your higher draft picks, with a team like the dolphins having relatively few of those, you just have to make the freaking right decisions.

otherwise you are constantly chasing bad decisions.

ricky would make sense though at a bottom bargain price, but i'm not sure it works out now.
