Reggie Bush Visiting Bills, Expected to Sign

Now that college athletes are allowed to benefit from their name, image and likeness, Reggie Bush would like to reclaim his 2005 Heisman Trophy Award.

The former running back led USC to back-to-back National Championships under head coach Pete Carroll. The NCAA banned Bush in 2010 for receiving about $300k in benefits under the table. The running back voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy. Bush argued that the benefits helped him out with his financial situation during his tenure as a student-athlete.

However, now he wants the trophy back. The former USC running back released a statement on Twitter. It’s also been a year since he was welcomed back to USC after being banned for over a decade.

“Over the last few months, on multiple occasions, my team and I have reached out to both the NCAA and The Heisman Trust in regard to the reinstatement of my college records and return of my Heisman,” the statement said. “We left multiple messages for Michael Comerford, the President of the Heisman Trust, but instead received a call from Rob Whalen, the Executive Director, who stated that Mr. Comerford would not be calling us back and that, in any event, they could help us. We reached out to the NCAA on multiple occasions and received no help or got no response at all. It is my strong belief that I won the Heisman trophy “solely” due to my hard work and dedication on the football field, and it is also my firm belief that my records should be reinstated.”

Russell Wilson Calls for Return of Seattle SuperSonics

Despite the ongoing trade rumors involving Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, it seems that the quarterback wants to stay in Seattle.

After months of rumors and Wilson’s agent identifying the teams that his client wants to play for, it seems that Wilson will commit to Seattle. Wilson has come to the full understanding about his place on the team and regained confidence in the team after the Seahawks agreed to shift its offensive philosophy, among other things.

Seattle head coach Pete Caroll spoke recently about this offseason’s Wilson trade rumors. The coach downplayed the rumors as “old news” and said the speculation helped the team “refocus” and get “on the same page” with its star player.

The team did consider Wilson’s demands but ultimately changed the team’s approach to the quarterback’s liking. There were three things that Wilson wanted and those were a new offensive philosophy that would maximize him as a player, a real high-end, ready-to-play addition on offense, and finally, communication on the direction of the team from Carroll and general manager John Schneider.

The team quickly agreed to the first two demands by hiring Shane Waldron as its new offensive coordinator. The team then traded for seven-year Raiders veteran Gabe Jackson. As for the third demand, it is currently ongoing and being actively discussed with the team.

While these demands have satisfied the quarterback, for now, there is still speculation that this contract will be his last with the team. Wilson’s contract is set to expire in 2023, and it’s still possible for the quarterback to ask for a trade if the team does not perform next season.
