Reggie Bush new team: The Detroit Lions are vying for running back Reggie Bush's services and hope to nudge the Arizona Cardinals out of the way.
Bush will visit the Lions on Wednesday, according to a person informed of the meeting. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because neither the team nor Bush's representatives has confirmed the visit publicly.
Bush is a warm-weather guy, having grown up in California. He then played for the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins. The Cardinals would allow him to live in a warmer locale. But the Lions play under a roof, of course, and could provide a better opportunity for Bush to get touches in their offense.
The Lions are still without running back Jahvid Best, who may never play again because of repeat concussions, and Mikel Leshoure "had enough inconsistencies to say that he's not there yet," coach Jim Schwartz said at the scouting combine last month.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals will host running back Rashard Mendenhall, who is on the outs with the Pittsburgh Steelers after a rocky 2012 season. Mendenhall will meet with Arizona and also has a visit set up with the Denver Broncos, according to the NFL Network.
And one last note from Detroit: The Lions will host safety Glover Quin (Houston Texans) on a visit, Quin's agent Michael Hoffman tweeted.
