Commissioner meeting has 'inside' info - NFL News
...All the talk about Saints first-round pick Reggie Bush holding out of training camp...is a bit premature for now. The Saints do not hold their first practice until July 28, and the NFL is a last-minute deal. Events transpire at the last moment that didn't seem possible before it...

...anybody who thinks Bush could hold out this season should consider this: Bush's agent, Joel Segal, would be engaging a dangerous move that other agents would hold against him while he vied for new clients.

If Bush were to miss a considerable amount of time this season, other agents would quickly point out that Segal's client failed to turn up as the No. 1 overall pick in a year when everyone was expecting him to be, and that a contract agreement did not materialize quickly...

Both sides have incentive to get a deal done...
