The Lions have added some much-needed depth to their safety corps, as NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports (via Twitter) that the team has signed Rafael Bush. The deal is for one year at $2.4MM, Rapoport adds.
The former undrafted free agent has bounced around a bit throughout his six-year career, but he seemed to find a home with the Saints. The 28-year-old spent the past four seasons in New Orleans, appearing in 40 games (14 starts). The defensive back finished the 2014 season with 56 tackles and two passes defended, but a torn pectoral muscle limited to only one game in 2015.
Bush will seemingly slide into the Lions starting lineup besides Glover Quin. The team did ink Tavon Wilson to a deal earlier this week, but the former Patriots safety will presumably serve in a back-up role.
Who is Rafael Bush??? I’ve heard of Reggie Bush
He changed his name. It’s some kind of religious thing.
Lol, I can’t tell if you’re being serious or just playing with him, but they’re not the same person. Rafael Bush is a safety
No. He didn’t Reggie Bush is Reggie Bush. Running back for the 49ers. The Reggie Bush. Rafael Bush safety for the lions now. Two different guys
