A Familiar Face To Fill Unresolved Need At Safety

Fortunately, there’s an available safety that I’m sure would relish the opportunity to return to the New Orleans Saints.

And no, it’s not Malcolm Jenkins.

Rafael Bush, who left New Orleans for Detroit in 2016, is an UFA. He’s only 29 years old and had a solid 2016 season for the Lions. He’d be a welcome addition to this Saints secondary.

Bush signed a one-year, $1.5M contract this past season, playing to increase his value after injuries landed him on IR for 2015. And while he didn’t take Detroit by storm, he earned a prominent role in their three-safety defensive sets.
