According to a report from NFL Network, former Bears and Raiders free agent running back Michael Bush will be visiting the Patriots.

The 6-1, 245-pound Bush played in 15 games last season in Chicago, rushing 63 times for 197 yards (3.1 avg.) with three touchdowns.

For his career, having played in six seasons as a former fourth-round pick out of Louisville, Bush has a 4.0-yard average, although he’s been below that mark in each of the last three seasons.

With LeGarrette Blount having signed with the Steelers last week, Bush could provide veteran depth as a big back in the New England backfield committee.

What do you think of Bush? Would he be a nice addition to the Patriots backfield? Let us know with a comment below!
