Raiders | Could Michael Bush return?

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:37:39 -0700

The potential of free-agent RB Michael Bush returning to the Oakland Raiders seems more and more plausible. He has said he enjoys playing for the Raiders on more than one occasion, but he wanted to test the open market to see if he could be a lead back somewhere.

The market for veteran free-agent running backs has been lukewarm; Bush met with the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals while the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets reportedly have interest in him, too. There is a chance Bush could return to Oakland if he cannot land a starting job with another team.

Chargers | Not in Michael Bush derby

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:31:46 -0700

The San Diego Chargers are not in the running to sign free-agent RB Michael Bush (Raiders), according to a team source. Bush is likely to command more than $3 million per year, which is more than the Chargers are willing to spend on their backup running back. If the market somehow dries up and Bush could come at a lower cost, the Chargers may consider jumping back in because they are high on Bush's talent.
