BUSH SIGNS WITH NINERS

After a rather lack luster showing in the 2014 NFL Season, HB Reggie Bush found himself cut from the Detroit Lions and without employment. His dismissal from Detroit occurred a week before the free agent tag deadline, two weeks before free agency began and ultimately at an untimely part of the off-season. Bush played only 11 games last season giving his replacement Joique Bell optimal opportunity to gain favor with coaching personnel. The Lions seeking to allow cap space to re-sign Ndamukong Suh (now signed with the Miami Dolphins), found Bush and his $5 million salary quite disposable. The Super Bowl XLIV champion was now unemployed for the third time since 2010 when he left the New Orleans Saints, a blemish to a career that began with hall of fame surmising.

Fortunately, the San Francisco 49ers have requested for Mr. Bush to service their organization at running-back for the 2015 NFL Season. After losing Frank Gore (San Francisco 49ers all time leading rusher) to the Indianapolis Colts in free agency, the Niners have now landed another quality running back to play along side second year running-back Carlos Hyde. Hyde played quite incredibly in his rookie season averaging around 4.0 yards a carry in 2014. In 2015, Hyde will have a increased work load. The Niners are hoping that the addition of Bush can play as an aid to Hyde's fatigue down the stretch of a long season. Bush will answer to the doubts of his durability in a NFC West division full of hard hitting defenses.

After three consecutive appearances in the NFC Championship game, San Francisco failed to make the post-season ending last season with a mediocre 8-8 record. The disappointing 2014 49ers season boiled over into the offseason as well. Not only did the lose their franchise running-back and head coach Jim Harbaugh, they also lost all-pro linebacker Patrick Willis to retirement. Willis encountered a season ending foot injury in November of 2014 and its lingering pain was inhibiting him from being as effective as he once was in years prior. Though the Niners have signed Torrey Smith and Reggie Bush, there is vagueness in regards to where their leadership will come from on and off the field. The lack of team chemistry could play a significant role to an already backsliding organization. It'll be interesting to see if they can turn it around in 2015.
