New Orleans safety Rafael Bush, a former practice squad player with the Falcons, has been signed to an offer sheet by the Falcons, according to his agent and the NFL transactions wire.

The Saints will have until April 8 to match the offer or lose Bush to Atlanta.

The Saints issued Bush a one-year, $1.4 million tender earlier this offseason. Bush was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina State in 2010.

The Falcons did no comment about pending personnel moves.
