It appears as if Reggie Bush‘s tenure with the Detroit Lions could be coming to an end as rumors are swirling that his roster spot going into the 2015 season is not secure.
In fact, it’s possible the Detroit Lions may cut Reggie Bush.


Unhappy with Bush’s performance and constant injury woes, the Lions could be looking for an upgrade at the running back.

Lions GM Martin Mayhew and coach Jim Caldwell have both stopped short of guaranteeing Reggie Bush will return to the team in 2015.


"The running back turns 30 this offseason and will be entering his 10th NFL season," ESPN's Mike Sando wrote. "Bush played a career-low 270 snaps this past season. He averaged 3.9 yards per carry and set career lows in some of the major statistical categories. Bush has a $3.25 million salary in 2015 and his salary cap figure jumps from just under $3 million to nearly $5.3 million. The team could save $3.5 million under the 2015 cap by releasing Bush and designating him a post-June 1 cut. Theo Riddick could be an appealing alternative. Drafting a running back also could be an option."

Bush has played a full 16 game schedule just twice in his career. Yet when healthy, he is still a dangerous pass-catching back. It remains to be seen definitively what the Lions will do.


Oh boy !! I don't know about this one.

Not a bad idea, but there are going to be a stack of RBs available and probably going cheap. I'd prefer a big bodied power back to complement Lamar Miller and Damian Williams.
 
you know what would be something...signing him and using him as a running back that catches the ball out of the backfield...you know, what he is actually good as...

He would have to come cheap and we are the last team Reggie would do that with.

Every RB available this year would come cheap, they're dirt cheap. Murray's offer was $16mil/4yrs. Pathetic!
 
I would welcome Reggie back with open arms. He was one of our leaders and we sorely need more of those on this team. He would be a nice fit with our zone scheme, catching out of the backfield, and I personally would love to see him back on punt and kick return team. I'd rather not see Landry back there again next season, let the kid focus on receiving.
 
The logic of this thread escapes me. Bush isn't with us because Philbin didn't want him here. As far as I know, that's still the case. So whether you want him or don't want him, he's not coming to Miami.
 
lets re sign moreno and bring in reggie -- each for 3 million. then we have 4 soild backs, miller, damien, reggie and moreno....1 is guaranteed to go down early and one late. spend no draft picks on a rb, we need to be in win now mode -- bring experience not youth to RB spot. Plus I love damien williams he has a bright future.

Who says it was a Joe decision? Ireland was responsible for the personnel on the roster and he elected to spend the money elsewhere on other players. While it is popular now to blame Joe for everything and make Ireland into the unfortunate victim, I'm of the belief that Ireland never did anything he didn't want to do. While I don't expect Reggie to return, I'd welcome him back to the team if he did.
 
I just love injury prone 30 year old RB's. So let's back the Brinks truck up and do something incredibly stupid.
