Lions agreed to terms with RB Reggie Bush, formerly of the Dolphins, on a four-year contract.

One of the worst kept secrets of free agency is no more. Bush provides some desperately needed experience and big-play ability to a running back corps that simply didn't threaten defenses last season. Yahoo's Jason Cole has reported the Lions are hoping to make Bush a "full-time," three-down back. That could be a dicey proposition for a player with Bush's injury history, but he'll undoubtedly lead the Lions' backfield in touches so long as he stays healthy. An elite pass-catching back joining the league's most pass-happy offenses, Bush is going to have a monster PPR ceiling in 2013.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter that the Lions are hoping to sign free agents Reggie Bush, Jason Jones, and Glover Quin on Wednesday.

Citing people around the league, Schefter reported that the Lions hope to make each of these moves "in one fell swoop," creating a free-agent splash. Detroit already locked up CB Chris Houston on Wednesday morning. Jones, Bush, and Quin are all at Lions headquarters visiting club officials and taking physicals.

Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole reports the Lions are offering free agent Reggie Bush an opportunity to be their "full-time" running back, starting over Mikel Leshoure.

The proposal makes Detroit all the more enticing for Bush, who still views himself as a starting running back. Bush was an every-down back in Miami the last two seasons, rushing 443 times for 2,072 yards (4.68 YPC) and 12 touchdowns. He was underutilized in the Dolphins' passing game, but that wouldn't be a problem on the historically pass-happy Lions. Bush's addition would obviously be bad news for Leshoure and Joique Bell's 2013 fantasy football outlooks.

Free agent Reggie Bush has visits scheduled with the Cardinals and Bengals if the Lions let him get out of town.

If the Lions really, really want Bush, he won't have a chance to make those visits and they'll lock him up at their club facility. Bush is currently in Detroit. His new contract is expected to average roughly $5 million per season.

Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix confirms free agent Reggie Bush "isn't coming" to the Cardinals.

This one seems just about over. Bush is expected to sign with the Lions shortly after the official free-agency period opens at 4PM today. The Cardinals have seemingly turned all of their attention to free agent Rashard Mendenhall.

Profootballtalk.com reports the Lions are the "likely winners" on free agent Reggie Bush.

Bush to Detroit has been perhaps the second worst-kept secret of free agency, behind only Mike Wallace to Miami. PFT's Mike Florio reports Bush would push Mikel Leshoure for the Lions' starting job, and the two would definitely work in tandem. If the Cardinals feel they've lost out on Bush, Bruce Arians' club could begin to put a full-court press on free agent Rashard Mendenhall.
