Bush had a career-high 977 rushing yards and 37 receptions for 418 receiving yards last season and has scored 15 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons. Source: Mac's Football Blog
Besides the Eric Weems signing, I LOVE this signing. This should take some of the work load off of Forte's shoulders.
I don't know why Raiders let this guy leave if that is the kind of money he was going to make. What a steal for the Bears.
yep, bush is a good rotational guy. if the forte thing goes to hell, they can get another decent rb and have a decent backfield.
