MIAMI — Nine years later, the Miami Dolphins have again traded for a New Orleans Saints running back who won the Heisman Trophy.
This time it’s Reggie Bush.
The Dolphins finalized a trade for Bush on Thursday by negotiating a new two-year contract for nearly $10 million with him, a person familiar with the talks said.
It wasn’t known what the Saints would receive in the trade.
Miami acquired former Heisman winner Ricky Williams from the Saints in 2002, with mixed results. He won an NFL rushing title with the
Dolphins, but they haven’t won a playoff game since that trade.
Bush was due about $11.8 million this season, the final year of his Saints contract. It would have been difficult for them to justify paying that given their salary cap constraints.
