    Detroit Lions Reggie Bush to Detroit?

    Report: Reggie Bush has 'real' interest from Lions - NFL.com

    Report: Reggie Bush has 'real' interest from Lions

    Reggie Bush is unlikely to return to the Miami Dolphins. The Detroit Lions could be in play to become the running back's new team.
    Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday that the Lions' interest in Bush is "real." Multiple people at the NFL Scouting Combine told Birkett that Detroit could make Bush a primary target in free agency.

    The Lions got nearly 5,000 yards of passing from Matthew Stafford and a record-breaking season by Calvin Johnson, but the team struggled to find balance on offense. The Lions were the 23rd-ranked rushing attack and lacked any home-run threat out of the backfield.
    Bush, 27, has the potential to be that guy. The Lions drafted Jahvid Best with the hope that he could fill that role, but concussion issues have derailed his career. Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell are expected to return, but neither possess Bush's versatile skillset.
    Bush showed ability to run between the tackles in Miami, but his best fit is as a hybrid player whom Stafford could take advantage of in the passing game. It's uncertain the Lions can afford Bush, given their cap situation and the big decision to make on free agent Cliff Avril.
    But from a pure personnel standpoint, Bush makes a lot of sense.
    He makes sense for Detroit but he's been injured a lot of time and I'm not sure if he's worth it.

    So they want a mediocre often injured done-nothing gimmick back to complement the rest of their often injured backs? Solid logic.

    Any step back for them is one forward for us. Carry on and carry that cap space!!
    Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

    This is the Lions we're talking about here. They could do everything perfect, have all the pieces in place, and still find a way to trip over their own feet. I don't think finding a way to take a step back will be a problem for them.

    I think he's capable of another good season, but I would still take both of our and the Vikings RB's over him.

    he fits their pass first offense perfectly but every penny they spend on offense is three steps back on defense
