Bush to Titans in '11?
According to ESPN Insider, the Titans are one of the teams who could potentially be interested in Reggie Bush should he not be retained by the Saints. Here's what they have to say:
Reggie Bush's continued employment with the New Orleans Saints was a subject of debate all season long by pundits and fans. We don't have anything concrete from anyone inside the organization, but it was thought earlier that there was no way that the team would bring him back for the $8 million he's owed in 2010. If the Super Bowl winds up being Bush's last game for the Saints, he went out with a relative thud: five rushes for 25 yards, four catches for 38 yards and one punt return for 4 yards.
If he's not retained -- and that continues to be a big "if" -- two NFC West teams might lead the charge in bidding for him. The first is the Seattle Seahawks; the Pete Carroll connection is obvious, but the team has a pretty big need for a versatile RB, too. The other team is the 49ers, who need a complement to Frank Gore. Niners beat writer Matt Maiocco recently wrote, "It would fill a major need to get an elusive running back to play no more than a handful of offensive snaps a game while also taking over the punt- and kick-return chores." Who does that sound like?
But what about the Tennessee Titans? They're set at starting running back, but Bush has never been a traditional rusher anyway. What the Titans do need is an explosive returner (check), someone to come in to give Chris Johnson a rest from time to time (check) and another suitable receiving target for Vince Young (check). Are we missing something here?

I don't see it happening
Reggie Bush would be exactly what we need at returner and it’d be kinda ironic if Lendale got replaced by Bush.
Reggie the returner-probably not the answer the Titans need
Saints fans hold there breath with every return…he is likely to fumble or score a TD
As for him as a running back or even a WR…he dances around more than Peter Warrick and in general does not seem very effective ( I havent analyzed his stats). Obviously, he has good games or at least good plays every now and then, but I for one do not want him to join the Titans unless he joins on the cheap(not happening)
I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.
It will be interesting to see what his 2nd deal will be

With his lackluster showing since his rookie year
I would think he could be had for cheap. I know the fumbles are problems on returns, however I for one would not mid seeing him in a Titans uniform. The one thing with Bush he can be a nightmare for deffensive coordinators however you have to be creative with the plays you draw up for him (which is something that the Titans are not). Bottom line he is better than any option at returner, can be a dynamic reciever out of the backfield or in the slot, and could be the #2 or #3 rb in the rotation. If the price is right I would go after him.
He should go to SD or SF.
Anything to be closer to Kim. With LT leaving SD, him and Sproles might be a pretty decent fit.

The problem with that is Sproles and him are the same guy

they seem that way, but I think they could complement each other. Especially in that pass offense.
And Tomlinson’s style isnt muchhhh different than Bush’s.
Even if they were the same guy, its not totally unheard of. Look at Westbrook/Mccoy.
Plus it’d bring more stardom to the closest NFL team to hollywoodland. For the right price I think it would be good.

Reggie Bush is an ass.
The dude offered $10k scholarships to two students of his former high school in San Diego, gave the first, $2500 installment, and now won’t honor the rest.
In March 2007, Helix High School seniors Brandon Fountain and Matt Cobb were presented a $10,000 scholarship from Bush to use for college.
…
10News contacted Michaels, who lives in Los Angeles. He said the scholarship program was set up years ago and Bush’s people contacted him in an effort to get involved. Michaels said Bush’s people promised to contribute to the funds but never followed through. The existing scholarship was funded by previous investments in the stock market, and those stocks did not do well.
While Bush posed with them at Helix High and was credited for “giving back” to his former school, Fountain and Cobb were left with an empty promise and a scholarship with Bush’s name and without his assistance.
You sure that's not Michael Scott?

all of this is irrelevant
since there will be no football in 2011
Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
Not Titan Material
Reggie Bush has some talent we all know. But I agree with DonFrancisco; this guy to me really only showed up for the Saints in the postseason. He reminds me of a young TO. Everyone knows who he is dating, however you spell that K name. It’s only time until he joins TO & OchoCinco in reality island football celeb series.
Yes, he could work into our offense. But do we really need someone who is going to cause bad press. We don’t need a player of that caliber/ aka huge contract to be a #2 RB/WR/KR/PR. I’m sure we can find a guy third/ fourth round to maybe compete with Ringer.
