Lions Agree To Terms With Reggie Bush

Oh, don't worry. It's coming.

My guess is it will be about the contract length.....how LeShoure is now a "wasted" pick and how stupid Mayhew was for doing it.

On a brighter note.....

HELL YES!!!!!

That opens up Pettigrew in the middle and makes our play action and screen game STRONG.

Great move!!!

Now we need the OL to block for that screen pass. That's the hard part.

Press Conf. soon on NFL Network.

I love the move. Gotta stay healthy but options just got a whole lot better in that offense.

4yrs, but how much $$

 

[alanclark]

Our guess on the Bush contract: four years, $16 million. (PFT)

Reggie Bush has 950+ rush yds & 30+ catches in 2 consec @nfl seasons. Last @DetroitLionsNFL to do it: Barry Sanders (97-98)

Reggie Bush had more runs of 20+ yards last year (6) than the entire #Lions team (4), per @ESPNStatsInfo.

New Lions running back Reggie Bush said that when he sat down with the coaching staff to discuss what he could bring to their offense, the most exciting aspect of it was knowing that he’ll have plenty of room to run against defenses that are primed to stop receiver Calvin Johnson.

“It’s a running back’s dream,” Bush said. “That’s the first thing we talked about, when we were watching film. To see those safeties deep, see those safeties rolling over double covering Calvin Johnson, it’s a running back’s dream. We have to be able to run the ball in that situation. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to come here, to be able to bring a balanced attack and help take some of the pressure off Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford and just complement them. I think it’s going to work out well.”

Bush said he’s not concerned about how much he runs the ball, but he’s confident that when he does, he’ll be effective.

“I’ve done three or four carries a game, I’ve done 20, 25 carries a game,” Bush said. “I’m comfortable when we win. That’s what I’m most comfortable with and that’s what I’m here for is to help this team win. I’m not so much worried about my personal stats. I’m at the point in my career now where winning is the most important to me.”

Saw his presser, pretty good. Basically what you posted Kawdup.

 

[KAWDUP]

At least he is saying the right things. I pray for his continued good health. That is what will make me the most happy.

.........this solves a lot of Lions problems right here.

Expect Reggie Bush's deal with the Lions to average right around $5 million per season, if not right on the head.

 

[alanclark]

Reggie Bush's 4-year, $16M deal has a $4M signing bonus. His '13 cap number is $2M.

That's a good deal.

 

[evolutionkb]

Big time deal. Especially with more rumors flying about players to pick up.

 

[motown1958]

That cap hit is exceptional. Good job front office.

 

[tonyballs]

Had a feeling it would be cheaper than 5 mil. Great job!!!

 

[wheels002]

I like all the deals we signed so far. For once it doesn't seem like we overpaid anyone. They all also fill major wholes and should play well.

 

[alanclark]

He'll wear number 21

 

[tomdalton22]

That is a fair deal for what he is. He is an average back that can catch the ball. That is exactly what the Lions need.

Bush is better then average.

Joique Bell is an average back......Bush > Bell

I would give Bush an 85 Madden Rating......if I were the ratings czar.
