Report: Saints, Dolphins agree on Bush deal

FROM THE MORNING CALL

Miami, FL—

The Dolphins have reportedly agreed to terms on a deal with the New Orleans Saints that would bring running back Reggie Bush to Miami.

According to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, the trade is contingent on Bush agreeing to a new contract. The report did not indicate what the Saints would receive in return.

Bush is scheduled to make $11.8 million in 2011 under his current contract, though the Saints were reportedly set to trade or release the injury-prone tailback before having to pay the last year of his deal.

Bush, the second overall pick in the 2006 draft out of USC, played in a career-low eight games last season and scored only one touchdown. In 60 career games, he has rushed for just 2,090 yards with a pedestrian 4.0 yards per carry.

The 26-year-old has been a decent receiving option out of the backfield, catching 294 passes for 2,142 yards. He has scored 33 total touchdowns in his six-year career, four coming on punt returns.
