As @espn_nfcnblog is reporting and has been confirmed, Lions and Reggie Bush have reached agreement on 4-year deal.

Great pick up in my opinion. Adding another weapon to an already explosive offense. If they can get a solid #2 receiver, I think they could be the best offense in the league.

Titans reached agreement on a three-year, $10 million deal with former Jets RB Shonn Greene.

Solid signing, although I'm a bit surprised at $10 million. Tennessee is quietly having a great Free Agency.

Not sure, but I think Chris Johnson is due a big number this year.
Would they cut him?
That is alot to pay for a backup RB when you already have a guy who never has missed a game.

Bill Polian said the Lions, with Reggie Bush, will be the new "Greatest Show on Turf."

I'm sure some Rams fans aren't happy about that.

Good question. I seriously doubt they cut him though. I think they're just going to carry two highly paid RB's and maybe limit CJ's carries this year.

Lions are going to be exciting to watch next season.

The Lions already have a couple of #2 type receivers. What they really need now that they hopefully have some consistency out of the running game, is some help on the offensive line. And of course quite a bit of help on defense although signing a safety that can stay healthy is a big help.

Bush is a nice addition to that offense. They're going to be very explosive.

Detroit's Backus retires after 12 seasons

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Jeff Backus played 12 years for the Detroit Lions, missing only one game while enduring some of the franchise's most difficult days.

His perseverance was finally rewarded with a playoff appearance two seasons ago, and now the durable offensive lineman is comfortable calling it a career.

"It's time for me to hang up my cleats and retire," Backus said in a statement Thursday. "It's a bittersweet moment, but I'm content knowing I gave everything I had, played as hard as I could and tried my best to live up to the standards I believe in."

Chris Johnson's contract became guaranteed 5 days after the SB(technically 9 mill of his 10 mill base anyway)

He's not getting cut, although he should have been. Out of 276 carries last season he had 60 that went for 0 or less yards.
