Niners Don’t Seem Like a Good Fit for Bush
In his prime, running back Reggie Bush would have been a perfect fit for Chip Kelly's spread offense.His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and his versatile talent to be effective on runs both inside and outside the tackles would be a wonderful pairing with the fast-paced attack.But at age 31 and coming off an injury-shortened 2015 season in San Francisco, it seems unlikely that Bush will be back with the 49ers for an encore season.This past weekend, Bush – who had his season end with the 49ers after just five games – said he's not yet ready to walk away from the game."I'm not retiring," Bush told the Detroit Free Press. "I'm still playing. No, I'm not done. And I would never -- knock on wood – I never want to end my career like that, going out like that."Bush signed a one-year deal with the 49ers last offseason after two seasons in Detroit.

The San Francisco 49ers are in good shape for 2024 when it comes to the wide receiver position. What that room looks like after this coming season remains to be seen. Most believe the 49ers will give Brandon Aiyuk a new contract around the start of training camp. But there are no guarantees. As it was reported on Friday, Aiyuk unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram, much like Deebo Samuel did two years ago.
It seems to be how modern-day players negotiate. It's not necessarily anything to be concerned about, but you never truly know how these things will end. There is still potential that the 49ers could trade the star receiver in the next couple of weeks.

"I'm not opposed to it," Brady said, per Jordan Mendoza of USA Today. "I don't know if they're gonna let me if I become an owner an NFL team. I don't know, I'm always gonna be in good shape, always be able to

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
