Following up on
an ongoing story. ... Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports via Twitter that Bush showed up for none of the team’s six weeks of lockout workouts. As in not one.

After the Saints traded up to pick running back Mark Ingram at the bottom of Round 1 and Bush bid farewell to New Orleans on Twitter, speculation mounted that he eventually would be leaving the Saints. But just as it appeared to be a foregone conclusion that Bush would be gone not long after the lockout ends, Bush publicly declared that he hopes to remain with the team indefinitely. But clearly his deeds aren't matching his words. As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, even though his failure to show up for the Saints’ lockout workouts doesn’t constitute definitive proof that he wants out, it’s safe to say that, if Bush truly wanted to be a Saint in 2011 -- an outcome that would almost certainly require him to take a pay cut from the $11.8 million he's currently owed, he would have been with his Saints teammates during at least one day of their lockout workouts.
