When you bring in a highly coveted free agent like Reggie Bush, you don’t let him leave with out a deal, and thats what the Lions did when Bush came to town.
Reportedly it is a 4 year deal but the financial terms haven’t been released yet. And the enthusiasm around Detroit is abound as they eagerly and quickly scheduled a press conference for 1:45 ET today.
Reggie Bush brings balance to a offense that was very one dimensional. If the Minnesota Vikings ran their offense through Adrian Peterson, the Lions ran their offense through Calvin Johnson, who almost had 2,000 yards receiving. By bringing in Reggie Bush, it could balance out the offense and free up Megatron even more.
That is scary.
It also provides Matthew Stafford a check down receiver in Reggie Bush who we saw was explosive catching the ball in the flats at USC and earlier in his career in New Orleans.
