Blame the run game

Perine averaged 4.4 YPC on 213 carries while in CIN.

With that said, Perine definitely is not a true lead-back kinda guy. He's a role player.
He's not going to be someone who is going to give you a lot of big plays.

FWIW, I wanted to 1) retain Perine for his role, 2) cut Mixon to save cap, and 3) sign a vet RB like David Montgomery to be in a RBBC with Perine and a draft pick.
Montgomery, for those that don't know, is a Cincinnati guy who played at Mt. Healthy.

he consistently gets more positive yards than Mixon + he had a knack for big plays as a receiver

Perine is better
