Bradshaw: Saints have approximately two-year evaluation window

NFL Hall-of-Fame quarterback and Louisiana native Terry Bradshaw made an appearance Monday night on Fox News' "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren". The topic, obviously, was the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and Bradshaw was asked to address the Saints' situation in New Orleans.

Among Bradshaw's comments, he said that he believes the Saints have around a two-year window to evaluate the franchise's future, and that there is a distinct possibility that the team could be relocated because of a lack of business environment to purchases suites and sponsorships. He also mentioned that without the NFL's $40 million Superdome renovation contribution, the Saints might not be playing this fall in New Orleans.

Bradshaw also mentioned that the Saints generate millions of revenues for the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, and that newly drafted marquee running back Reggie Bush will play a large role in the future of the team in the city.

Finally, Bradshaw stated that he sincerely hopes the team stays in New Orleans.

Many other stories along these lines may follow in the coming days, and we'll be on the lookout for them - and for any information that might be gleaned from them to shed some light on the Saints' long-term future.
