New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush(notes) is making $8 million this year. Pretty good paycheck for a guy with bad knees, right?

Well, he better be saving his pennies because Yahoo! Sports’ Jason Cole is hearing that the Saints aren’t planning to bring Bush back in 2010. The problem is those troublesome knees. Because of them, Bush hasn’t played for the last two weeks, which isn’t helpful in the slightest.

For the nine games that he’s been in, he’s been averaging 9.3 touches a game and fumbled the ball three times.

Another issue is Bush’s salary. With next year being potentially uncapped, some players are going to be irked that they aren’t making what Bush is making when they are contributing far more to the team than him.
