It will be a contract year, and an important one, for former Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. After a promising start to his career as a first-round pick, the Pittsburgh Steelers have declined to pick up the fifth-year option on Bush's rookie deal.
Bush will become a free agent at the end of the season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news.
In his rookie year with Pittsburgh, Bush finished third in Rookie of the Year voting after finishing the season with 109 tackles, two interceptions, one sack and four fumble recoveries. Bush tore his ACL in week five of the 2020 season.
In 2021, Bush finished the season with 70 tackles, two sacks and one fumble recovery in 14 games.
