Buffalo Bills perform a safety swap as Rafael Bush retires

In surprising fashion Buffalo Bills safety, Rafael Bush has decided to step down and call it quits for his NFL career. The eight-year veteran played one season in Western New York.

In Bush’s one season, the 32-year-old played the part of a versatile cog in the Bills’ defense. Though listed as a safety, he lined up at nickel cornerback, as a free-high roamer, and a strong-side support defensive back. In 2018, he tallied 45 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, two tackles for loss, and two QB hits.

Bush had one year left on his contract worth $1.
