Though it would seem somewhat surprising that Seattle would be interested after the Seahawks signed Marshawn Lynch to a four-year deal worth $31 million (with $17 million guaranteed and a $6 million signing bonus), it's in Bush's best interest to play the free agent market. Cincinnati would offer Bush a more proactive role as a feature running back, despite the projected committee Jay Gruden is implementing with Bernard Scott whereas in Seattle, it's Lynch.
Now this doesn't mean Cincinnati won't be able to sign Bush on Monday. There's more than enough examples of teams hosting a free agent, who had upcoming visits on his itinerary, and signing him before allowing him to complete those visits.
Bush has also visited with the Chicago Bears and (via some reports though Bush denied) the Arizona Cardinals.
