Samaje Perine projects as a pass-down back in Chiefs’ offense

This week, between the preseason finale and the regular season opener, the Kansas City Chiefs made a handful of moves to turn over the fringes of the roster. However, one external acquisition stands out for how it can impact the team immediately.

Running back Samaje Perine was signed on Wednesday after getting cut by the Denver Broncos. The eighth-year back spent one season in Denver after a notable three-year stretch with the Cincinnati Bengals. Over the last two seasons, Perine has accumulated 1,346 total yards and seven touchdowns as a complementary back to the team’s starter.
