After release from Detroit Lions, what's next for Reggie Bush?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/after-release-from-detroit-lions--what-s-next-for-reggie-bush--223539293.htmlThe Detroit Lions basically chose Theo Riddick over Reggie Bush on Wednesday.
The Lions cut Bush and his $3.5 million base salary for 2015, according to multiple reports, opting to go with the cheaper and younger Riddick in the role Bush had with the Lions. And now what for Bush, who will turn 30 on March 2?
Running backs usually don't have much of a market into their 30s, and Bush had just 297 rushing yards in 2014. Bush had a 3.9-yard average, his lowest since 2008. Even assuming Bush finds another opportunity, it's unlikely he'll ever reach the NFL stardom he seemed destined for when he was dominating at USC....
Bush still has a chance to add to his NFL accomplishments, but it won't be in Detroit. It probably will be in a part-time role as a weapon in the passing game out of the backfield. That's what he has done best in his NFL career, and he has been good at it. Back in 2006, however, we expected a lot more out of his time in the pros.
