Default Reggie Bush?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...ns-looks-bleak

What do you guys think? Chances are we won't retain Felix and we all know about Murray's injury woes. Bush has been pretty durable for the last 2 seasons and put up 1000 yards two years ago and close to it again last year. He won't be the feature back but if he's cheap enough, we could definitely use him. He's had somewhat of a resurgence with a Dolphin team with a lot less talent than ours.

Wouldn't be against it. The guy can also actually catch the football unlike Felix.

Aren't you the guy complaining about offensive line all year long? We need to focus on the trenches, save the accessories for another time.

I'd rather get a fresh RB coming out of College.

Plus does anyone trust Garrett to think outside of the box with this type of player? Thats a big fat no.

Waste cap money on a position of lesser needs? No way

I don't want a veteran running back in here for more than the veteran minimum

Too much $$. If we somehow get the money to sign a FA, it has to go towards OL/DL, period.

I agree that OL/DL are two of our top priorities but I honestly think we can find value at those positions in the draft.

I wouldn't be so quick to think that RB isn't just as big a need as OL/DL.

Last years running back totals: (granted I know injuries played a factor)

Felix Jones - 402 yards
Phillip Tanner - 61 yards
DeMarco Murray - 663 yards

Reggie Bush, if nothing else, would certainly eclipse the production of Tanner and Jones combined and provide a lot more versatility as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

I would take bush but not at what he's seeking. He's going to want to be a starter and make big money. He'll get it from a team like the lions.

Actually if they pair him with Leshoure, that could be a really good combination there.

Reggie Bush quote
"It comes down to who needs me, who wants me, and, obviously, MONEY," Bush said. "I want to play another five years. I think 12 years, as a running back, that's a good place to start."

His contract with Miami was $9.75 million for 2 years and 5mil the first year. He'll obviously be looking for a bigger contract since he's wanting to sign somewhere long term for about 5 years.

I'd take him if we could get him cheap. I don't think it's impossible but it all depends on what he wants and if Jerry is even exploring the Running back options,although he should be because it's obvious Felix is done in Dallas.
