Per @AdamSchefter: Last hurdle to a trade between Saints and Dolphins was cleared when RB Reggie Bush reached agreement on a new 2-year contract with Miami.

@ProFootballTalk: Reggie Bush deal with the Saints, per league source: Two years, $9.75 million. He gets $5 million in 2011

As you can probably tell by now my fellow writer Cody Strahm is more articulate with his words than I am. I like to be entertaining even if it does sometimes mean losing my Shakespearean side and not using the best English.  That being said here is my bottom line blog of WHAT BUSH CAN DO FOR YOU !

Well Bush can offer quick and efficient delivery!

Bush offers his 4.33 (USC Pro Day time) electric speed. Bush is one of the fastest players in the NFL and brings his quick feet to a team that really needs a jolt of speed into its lineup.

Bush also makes all of his delivery in style and finesse!

Bush not only is one of the fastest players in the league but also one of the flashiest. The Dolphins offense has not only been anemic this past 2 years but it has also been VERY BORING. Reggie Bush is a truly exciting and fun player to watch and will bring that down to South Beach. 

When you have a second check out this link of Reggie Bush’s highlights and you are sure to be impressed.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhTw29_JDH4

Bush can also bring you credibility!

Miami’s offense really struggled last year, bringing Bush opens up doors for all different players on the field. Bush can play a part as a WR or also as a decoy. Bush brings credibility and a certain unpredictability to this Dolphin offense.

Is Bush a good fit for you!

100% a good for the Phins. The Dolphins clearly trust Daniel Thomas after not going all in on Bradshaw and DeAneglo and Bush should see 10-15 touches a game and compliment Thomas nicely.  Dolphins certainly upgraded their offense by bringing in Bush.

Is Bush well priced, is there value there?

Surprisingly yes, Miami signed Bush to a 2 year 10 million dollar contract which is very fair. Miami gets a player who was making 7 mil more on his old team. This is really solid value for Bush who the media thought would demand more money

 Saints acquired S Jonathon Amaya as part of the Reggie Bush trade.

Does Bush make you look good!

This is just a personal bias, but I love it when players look good in uniforms and have that swagger, Bush is one of those guys!

 
So Welcome Reggie, and don’t worry we will find you a nice girl to get over Kim with in South Beach !

There was a lot of misinformation out there during undrafted free agency. But it appears most of the rumored signings involving the Dolphins came to fruition. The now official undrafted rookie additions are below:

Pat Devlin, QB, 6-2/225, Delaware
Vincent Agnew, DB, 5-10/192, Central Michigan
Brett Brackett, TE, 6-5/248, Penn State
Garrett Chisolm, OG, 6-5/312, South Carolina
Jonathan Freeny, OLB, 6-2/242, Rutgers
Nic Grigsby, RB, 5-11/199, Arizona
D.J. Jones, OT, 6-5/310, Nebraska
Johnny Jones, DT, 6-3/307, Marshall
Philip Livas, WR/KR, 5-7/179, Louisiana Tech
Jose Perez, CB, 5-11/183, San Diego State
Quinton Spears, LB, 6-4/234, Prairie View A&M 

Many were pushing back sleep tonight in hopes of hearing firsthand of a completed trade that would send Broncos’ quarterback Kyle Orton to the Miami Dolphins. Instead, we were all in for a curveball, as Jeff Ireland has apparently been on the line with the New Orleans Saints attempting to hammer out a deal for Reggie Bush.

The two parties came to an agreement shortly after 1 a.m. this morning, sending Bush to Miami contingent on Reggie agreeing to a new contract in South Beach that would spare the Dolphins the $11.8 million he’s owed in 2011.

What the Dolphins are giving up in this swap hasn’t become known as of yet. I would imagine it would be in the ballpark of a fifth or sixth-round pick, though, as the Saints are just looking to get anything they can out of a guy they would have been forced to release.

Obviously, there are several reasons why this makes a ton of sense for the Dolphins’ revamped offense. Second-round pick Daniel Thomas would benefit from having a complimentary back with dangerous speed. Well, Bush is one of the most explosive players in the league. He’s your ideal fit to spell Thomas on third-down especially, with superb receiving skills out the back-field and split out wide in the slot. Add dynamic punt returner to the mix, and the Dolphins have just become considerably more exciting to watch just in time for training camp.

As I’ve said before, though, there are reasons not to fall in love with Bush. He’s had a difficult time staying healthy, having not played a full 16-game season since his rookie year. Bush isn’t a vastly productive runner either; as his career-high is a mere 581 yards and his yards-per-carry mark didn’t top 3.8 until ’09.

If Daniel Thomas is the back the Dolphins think he is and he’s able to carry the bulk of the workload productively, Bush’s shortcomings will be less of an issue. But because Thomas is still a huge question mark as a rookie, I think accompanying Bush with a capable workhorse is in order.

Bringing back Ronnie Brown would be my ideal signing, but other backs like Willis McGahee or Marion Barber would also be solid insurance policies.

As of 2:30 this morning, it also isn’t known whether or not this will affect the Dolphins’ chances of trading for Kyle Orton. Negotiations that were set to wrap up as soon as 6 p.m. Wednesday night have likely turned south to some degree, and Jeff Darlington is reporting that Orton and the Broncos are still in talks with “multiple” other teams. 

In a surprise move, the Dolphins and defensive end Tony McDaniel have agreed to a two-year deal worth $6 million to keep him in Miami. It’s not that McDaniel isn’t the type of player you want to keep around. He is and then some.

McDaniel had a stellar breakout campaign in 2010, highlighted by 36 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and ranking in as the 13th most productive 3-4 end in the league by Pro Football Focus. It’s just that the Dolphins are stacked at defensive end, and I’m not even sure stacked does them justice.

Randy Starks and Kendall Langford make up one of the top 3-4 end duos in the league and Jared Odrick and Phillip Merling, who could potentially be starters elsewhere, give the Dolphins outstanding depth. Either the Dolphins really value that depth and want to bolster a frightening rotation or they plan to deal one of their defensive ends in the deal for Kyle Orton that is reportedly expected to go down in the next couple of hours.

It should be interesting to see how it plays out, but the Dolphins prevented a very solid defensive end from lining up on an opposing D-line today. He’s too talented not to have a significant role on Mike Nolan’s defense.

-Dolphins also come to terms with former Cleveland Brown linebacker Jason Trusnik. Reports have it as a two-year deal, but the financial particulars are not yet known. Trusnik will provide much needed depth for the Dolphins, but perhaps more importantly will bolster what was a weak special-teams in 2010.
