Lions sign safety Rafael Bush from Saints

The Detroit Lions have reportedly found their starting safety to line up next to Glover Quin.

The franchise has signed former New Orleans safety Rafael Bush. The deal is a reported one-year contract worth $2.4 million, according to NFL Network.

Bush, who turns 29 in May, is expected to be the starter alongside Quin in the team's secondary. He'll be replacing the combination of Isa Abdul-Quddus, who went to Miami, and James Ihedigbo, who remains unsigned, at the position.

The 5-foot-11 Bush went undrafted out of South Carolina State in 2010 and eventually signed with Atlanta.
