Running back Reggie Bush met with the New England Patriots on Friday.

Bush was released by the Detroit Lions on Feb. 25 and had visited the San Francisco 49ers earlier this week. A potential reunion with his original team, the New Orleans Saints, seemed to be nixed when the Saints agreed to a deal with former Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller on Friday.

The Patriots are looking for a replacement for Shane Vereen, who signed with the New York Giants. The Patriots also hosted wide receiver Percy Harvin this week.

Bush, 30, played in just 11 games in 2014, gaining 530 yards from scrimmage.

The previous year — his first in Detroit after signing a four-year, $16 million deal — he rushed for 1,006 yards and four touchdowns while catching 54 passes for 506 yards and three scores.

The No. 2 pick in the 2006 draft, Bush has rushed for 5,465 yards and 35 touchdowns and caught 466 passes for 3,489 yards and 18 touchdowns in nine seasons with the Saints (2006-2010), Miami Dolphins (2011-2012) and Lions.
