The Denver Broncos agreed to a two-year contract with veteran running back Samaje Perine on Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, confirming reports.
Perine, who turned 27 in September, provided a steadying presence for the Cincinnati Bengals' backfield during their run to the AFC Championship Game. He appeared in all 16 regular season-games, logging 95 carries for 394 yards -- his highest totals since his 2017 rookie season with Washington.
The sixth-year veteran was the Bengals' primary running back on third downs and was entrusted in pass protection. He also saw 65% of the offensive snaps during the Bengals' loss in the AFC Championship Game, while starter Joe Mixon was reduced to 35% of the snaps.
