-- According to Joel Corey, a former agent and current National Football Post reporter, Reggie Bush's four-year deal is for $16 million with a $4 million signing bonus. Bush's cap number will be just $2 million in 2013.
-- Chris Houston's five-year deal is for $25 million, with $15.5 million being paid out over the first three years according to Yahoo's Jason Cole. The Detroit News reports only $9.5 million of the contract is guaranteed.
To add some perspective, St. Louis signed cornerback Cortland Finnegan to a 5-year, $50 million contract last offseason with $27 million guaranteed. There's little doubt the flooded market this offseason helped keep Houston's price tag down.
-- NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah tweets that Jason Jones' three-year agreement with the Lions is worth $9.5 million. Included in that figure is a $2.5 million signing bonus. The annual breakdown and guaranteed money are still unknown.
-- Linebacker DeAndre Levy, who agreed to terms last week, can earn a maximum of $9.75 million over three years according to the Detroit Free Press. The deal includes a $3 million signing bonus. Like Bush, Levy will also count for just $2 million against the cap in 2013.

I still miss having him in New Orleans, hoping he does well in Detroit.

Bill Polian called the Lions the new "Greatest Show on Turf."

Bit of a stretch. They don't have an Isaac Bruce to Megatron's Torry Holt. Bush is nowhere near Marshall Faulk either.

Good signing though. Polian is just an idiot.

I just kinda drown him out now.
