The Facts:
PFT has learned via a league source that the Bears will release Bush.
Reported by Profootballtalk.com
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bush played 28 games for the Bears over the last two seasons as a backup to Matt Forte and ran for 608 yards on 177 carries. He ran for just 197 of those yards (at 3.1 yards a pop) last season, however, and was set to make $2.85 million in 2014. Replicating that at a cheaper price would be easy, but the Bears should be able to do better than that whether they find another back to complement Forte in free agency or the draft. ... As PFT points out, Bush turns 30 in June and his lackluster work in Chicago isn’t likely to inspire heavy interest on the open market.
