I know we are in the midst of a nice season and in the wild card running but I have been seeing a lot of stories about Reggie Bush becoming a FA next year. I guess he'll cost about $8 million against the cap next year and really isn't worth that kind of money for what he does with that super talented team.

It got me thinking, I wonder how he'd do in Green and Gold. Now obviously this would only happen if TT decided to open the teams wallet which isn't super likely but imagine having Grant back there to do the dirty work and Bush as another receiving threat out of the backfield. We could light the league up with screens and dump offs which would open up all sorts of new things for this team
Other potential FA running backs in 2010:
- Ronnie Brown (Dolphins - Restricted - Can't imagine they just let him go for nothing)
- Pierre Thomas (Saints - Restricted - No way he becomes an FA)
- Cadillac Williams (Bucs - Injury prone, probably ready to move on)
- Lendale White (Titans - Could be interesting if used right)
- Leon Washington (Jets - Wants the BIG bucks, coming off season ending injury)
- Jerious Norwood (Falcons - Seems to get hurt every year, great receiving back though)
- Chester Taylor (Vikings - Can't see him staying with a team where he has such a limited role)
- Ricky Williams (Dolphins - Aging very well, but old)
- Willie Parker (Steelers - Will likely want a starter job, but probably won't get one)
- Willis McGahee (Ravens - Likely to be dropped)
- Mike Bell (Saints)
- Kevin Faulk (Patriots - Might be competing with this team for Bush)
- Chris Brown (Texans)
- Larry Johnson (Bengals)
So who interests you the most if our GM actually opens the teams wallet this year? Do you think we need to make a move at all? I'd love to see someone like Taylor, Norwood, Bush, etc who can catch passes out of the backfield to complement Grant. I'd also consider a McGahee or White kinda larger back if they can commit to running inside the tackles and pound out the yards but I think the receiving back is where we'd see the most benefit!
