Which Reggie Bush scenario would you like to see happen?

6. Reggie Bush gets cut.

I wanted to choose that one but I went with 4. The problem with moving Reggie to WR is that it's virtually the same thing with keeping him at running back. That's all he was doing running dump offs and making minimal gains out the back field... a poor slot receiver basically. Moving him outside in my opinion minimizes the "decoy" factor he has coming out the backfield. He then becomes predictable and immediately replaceable on our roster.

Reggie thinks he's under-utilized and better than he really is. Could he be? It's possible... and the only way for him to find out, is to go to a team where his touches will not be limited as it is here. We don't have a single player on our roster that dominates the ball offensively... and it won't happen anytime soon. Reggie has 4 or 5 more years in this league and he already has a SuperBowl ring. He's not looking for a 1 year contract where he won't be able to maximize his production earning him that one last big contract. While it's a nice idea to keep him around because of how "important" he is to our offense, a stretch to say in my opinion, drafting Ingram pretty much sealed his fate. There is nothing Reggie can do that replacing him with Thomas in all of his sets will cause us our offense to regress.. In all honestly, we'd probably be even more productive.
