La'Mical Perine Fantasy

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back La'Mical Perine to a Reserve/Futures Deal on Wednesday. The team also signed Kendall Blanton, Dicaprio Bootle, Matt Bushman, Mike Caliendo, Cole Christiansen, Jerrion Early, Chris Oladokun, Cornell Powell, Austin Reiter, Danny Shelton and Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The 25-year-old Perine didn't sign to Kansas City's practice squad until last month, and he didn't see any playing time in a game. The former fourth-rounder by the New York Jets in 2020 has played in two seasons with New York, carrying the ball 72 times for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (zero starts). Sixty four of his 72 carries came in his rookie campaign. Perine will give the Chiefs more depth at the position heading into the 2023 season.

The Houston Texans tried out free-agent running back La'Mical Perine on Wednesday. Perine landed with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason after he was waived by the New York Jets, but he was then released from Philly's practice squad just last week. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder received 72 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns while adding 11 receptions on 15 targets for 63 yards through the air in his two seasons with the Jets. If Perine were to land in Houston, he'd serve as running back depth behind rookie Dameon Pierce, veteran Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale.

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine has been waived by the organization on Monday. The former fourth round pick rushed for 263 yards and two touchdowns through 14 games with the Jets. He only carried the ball 72 times, so he wasn't given much of a chance to succeed. Perine is only 24 years old, so there is still time for him to turn it around. Clearly, the Jets didn't feel that Perine brought enough to their team to keep around. He should land himself another job elsewhere, but will probably be a third or fourth string.
