After his dismissal, Samaje Perine ends up in the worst possible place for the Broncos

The Denver Broncos had a solid running back roster this summer, and the talent within it allowed them to part ways with veteran running back Samaje Perine. They attempted to find a trade partner, but were forced to release him when that didn’t work out.

But if that happens, any team in the league can sign that player. If the Broncos could pick one place Perine probably shouldn’t go, it would be the Kansas City Chiefs. But…

And that’s exactly what happened. Anyone who knows Perine’s game and watches the Chiefs play even remotely regularly knows that this is a perfect fit.

Perine is a tough runner, but his strengths lie in pass catching. Along with Patrick Mahomes, he could become a real problem for defensive teams.

Samaje Perine fits perfectly into the Chiefs’ offense

The Chiefs don’t have many running backs. Isiah Pacheco is the starter and then they have Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Carson Steele. Perine should not only get a chance to play for the Chiefs, but also a chance to make a significant contribution.

Andy Reid values ​​his running backs and likes to spread them around, especially those who can catch out of the backfield, making this an ideal landing spot for the veteran who spent just one year with the Broncos.

Although Perine couldn’t stay in Denver, he now has the chance to become part of the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
