PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent running back Reggie Bush to a one-year contract to provide veteran depth behind starter LeSean McCoy and fill a big hole in their return game.
The Bills announced the signing Monday, and a person with direct knowledge of the contract revealed the length of the deal to The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the Bills did not reveal that detail.
The agreement was reached after Bush traveled to Buffalo to take a physical on Monday morning and then met with Bills officials at their training camp facility outside Rochester.
"We are always looking to improve our roster," general manager Doug Whaley said. "We had targeted Reggie because we feel a player of his caliber can help us in a variety of areas."
Bush is a 10-year NFL veteran who played five games with San Francisco last year before suffering a season-ending left knee injury when he slipped on the bare concrete bordering the Edward Jones Dome field in St. Louis.
