Reggie Bush is on the move… again. The Detroit Lions have decided to part ways with the injury-riddled running back after two years with the franchise. Bush, 29, is going into his 10th season in the league. Since being drafted with the second pick in 2006, he has played for the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, and the Lions.

Bush only played in 11 games in 2014, rushing for 297 yards on 76 carries and catching 40 passes for 253 yards. He will turn 30 this March, which is also known as the career ending age for a running back. The veteran back out of USC was set to make $3.25 million in 2015 and $3.75 million in 2016.

As a pass-catching back, Bush could be a very attractive signing, but could be expensive. With his injury plagued career, he could also become a risk. He may be looked at as a 2nd or 3rd down situation back. Expect two-year deal worth $5 million, considering that both he and his agent look for a higher offer than most teams are willing to make.
