Reggie Bush viewed the Bills as his best option for 2016. Through three games, the Bills haven’t viewed Bush as much of an option at all.
In the first two games, Bush had three carries for minus-four yards. For Week Three, the team’s official website suggested that Bush could play some receiver. Ultimately, he didn’t play at all.
Mike Rodak of ESPN.com notes that Bush’s disappearance could result in him being dumped from the lineup as of Monday, when defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson return from four-game suspensions.
If Bush is released, he’ll be entitled to collect the balance of his $1 million base salary as termination pay. But if the Bills are going to pay him not to play while serving as a member of the team, they may as well open the roster spot and pay him not to play while not serving as a member of the team.
