Perine is almost a non issue.  He is an ok back.  Doesn’t do anything great.  We are talking about a backup player.  A LOT of running backs can offer a few starts a year.  

Within a week, I would be surprised if we don’t sign a Tight End and a RB in FA that takes care of hurst and Perine.  

I also think a veteran safety will join the bengals.  That is the biggest loss so far (Bell).  But I do think Pratt and Wilson form a great duo for the next 3 years. I am assuming Wilson gets extended.

Out of what hurts the most:
1) Bell
2) Hurst
3) Perine

I do see that Hurst's deal is a 3-year deal, and there's no way the Bengals were going to give that many years to an impending 30 year old.

If the Bengals can land someone to replace two of these guys above, it will open up the draft significantly.
