The New Orleans Saints are in the market for running backs and could be interested in a reunion with Reggie Bush.
CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora described the Saints as “high” on Bush, who was drafted by the organization second overall in 2006 and played with the team for five seasons.
Will be interested to see what Saints do at RB. Sean Payton high on Reggie Bush. Team has interest in Mark Ingram and others as well

Bush was released by the Lions following an injury-plagued season. Though he is 30, Bush put together one of his finest seasons only two seasons ago when he rushed for 1,006 yards and four touchdowns and posted 506 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. There should be a solid market for his services.
The Saints cut Pierre Thomas this week, and Ingram, whom they’d like to re-sign, is a free agent. The Eagles are said to have interest in the Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama, who rushed for a career-best 964 yards and nine touchdowns. The Saints will have competition for Ingram, but they might have a better shot at bringing back Bush.
