The Facts:
When the Saints drafted a new Heisman Trophy-winning running back in Mark Ingram, the Heisman Trophy-winning running back they drafted five years ago went on Twitter to say his time in New Orleans was done. But HC Sean Payton says not so fast: He thinks there’s room for Bush and Ingram (not to mention running backs Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory) to play in the same offense. And he says he told Bush that on Friday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
“It was similar to the talk I had with Deuce McAllister in 2006 after we drafted Bush. The player just needs to know what vision you have for them,” Payton explained. “No. 1, we’ve kind of always separated the skill set of Reggie Bush. There’s so many unique things he does and brings to that position. ...” While we won't argue against the notion that Payton is creative enough to get the most out of Bush and Ingram, there's no escaping the fact that Bush is owed $11.8 million this season. As PFT suggests, "getting rid of Bush will be about the Saints’ payroll, not their depth chart."
