Bush has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bush, who turns 30 in August, recorded just 11 tackles in 16 games with Kansas City last season, numbers that kept him off the IDP radar. However, in addition to continuing to provide the team with depth at safety, the 2016 fourth-rounder will also reprise his role as a core special-teamer for the Chiefs in 2023.

Chiefs' Deon Bush: Labeled as questionable Week 16
Rotowire
Bush (illness) is considered questionable to play Saturday against Seattle.
Bush missed Week 13 against Cincinnati due to an elbow injury but has been able to play each of the past two weeks.

Rotowire
Bush notched four stops in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 40 tackles, two interceptions and five passes defensed.

Rotowire
Bush notched nine tackles (six solo) during Sunday's divisional win over the Lions.
Bush managed a season-high number of stops Week 4, in what was his second consecutive game handling 100 percent of defensive snaps. The veteran safety is worth fantasy consideration in IDP formats as long as Tashaun Gipson (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Bush served in a situational role through the first four games before suffering this injury, and now he'll sit out a second straight game.

Bears' Deon Bush: Status uncertain for Sunday
Rotowire
Bush (ankle) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Bush should see a high defensive snap count if he can play Sunday, since Adrian Amos (hamstring) is doubtful. The second-year pro played six games as a full-time safety last season, accruing 20 tackles (15 solo) and one pass breakup. Therefore, even if he does play, Bush carries a low ceiling.
