Reggie Bush Maybe Not Shopping Himself Around After All, Says Rumor About Rumor

Earlier this week we mentioned a report that suggested Reggie Bush had been given by the New Orleans Saints the permission—or at least the implicit permission—to shop himself around to teams that might be more interested in paying his ballooning salary than they are, now that they have 16 other running backs in their pass-heavy offense. 

It was an oddly specific report for Bush to be denying, but recently he did just that, denying the whole thing—the permission, the reason for the project, the specific teams supposed to be interested in acquiring the ex-Heisman running back. 

I continue to find the idea of Bush coming to the St. Louis Rams enticing—if also implausible and, given the team's other, more pressing needs, a little frivolous—but it looks like those rare specifics in this NFL lockout wasteland will go back to the memory hole with the rest of the morsels of specificity we've seen, like how clear it was that Plaxico Burress would join the Philadelphia Eagles.
