Some folks are wondering if the Cincinnati Bengals might make a run at Michael Bush. That could be a tough sell as the Raiders have made it clear re-signing him is a top priority.
Al Davis clearly sees value in Bush given the first- and third-round tenders — the highest level possible — the team assigned him. Not to mention Hue Jackson has spoken highly of the running back since taking over as head coach.
Re-signing Zach Miller is the team’s top priority once the NFL Lockout is lifted.

Former Oakland Raiders quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo made a high school football player’s day in his native American Samoa.
Tuiasosopo helped out a three-day football camp run by Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I can’t believe an NFL quarterback teaches,” the unnamed player told Radio New Zealand International. “He was great – many things I learned yesterday: the way you throw the ball and your footwork.”
Hats off to Tuiasosopo and Polamalu for putting on the camp half way across the world.
We recently spotlighted former Raiders Tim Brown and Jay Richardson for also giving back to the community.
“According to NFLPA records, Bush has 3 years of service after 2010 season. So he’ll be a RFA barring the NFL saying something diff after the lockout.”
The above was taken from Adam Caplan on Bush, Bush will not be on the market as a Free Agent in 2011 cahnge back to 4 years or not. Al Davis will then lock him up long term.
