He was not the #1 overall pick. He was the #2. Therefore, he should get a contract that is less than Mario Williams' deal.
He already has or soon will make more on endorsement deals than he will from this contract, anyway. He's just coming off as a crybaby. I hope he gets in to camp so that they can haze the crap out of him.

If he can get #1 pick money, more power to him. It is at least worth a try. At least in his situation if Houston wouldn't have made the move they made, which I think surprised a lot of people he definetely would've been a lock at #1.

As far as arguing the merits of his pay based upon what he has yet to accomplish, I really can't do that either. The system is set up so that the players get there payday before they even play a down and prove their worth. Unfair, maybe. But that is the way it is.

Eh, you could be right. I've really got no experience in that area, so I'll just concede.

This whole "he doesn't touch the ball enough" arguement is complete bullshit. USC used another RB because they had 2 top 5 RB's on the same team. It had nothing to do with Bush not being able to handle it, it had to do with using all their pieces. |

I think all draft picks should be slotted and paid in that order. They have yet to prove anything in the NFL.

They should trade him to DC for Portis and a draft pick.

Here's a good place for this little blast from the past...
Saints' top pick Bush wants to avoid holdout

Bush would be the #1 pick in 9 of the last 10 drafts. Give him #1 money, not as much as Mario Williams, but pretty damn close. Him and Vince Young still won't live up to the hype though.
