New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has revealed that he considered signing Reggie Bush, but CJ Spiller was his priority.

Payton conceded that Bush would have been a good fit for the Saints in 2015, but he couldn't turn down the opportunity of landing Spiller.

"With a player like [Bush], it's more about do we have a vision of exactly how we'd use him and I think we did," Payton said, according to The Advocate.

"But, again, a few days later, Spiller is taking a visit, so it just sorted out in a way that was a little unique. He's physical, he's the most explosive player on the field a lot of times when you're watching him."

Payton also credited the 27-year-old and his agent for choosing the best for him rather than the move that offered the most money.
