One could guess that with Joe's age he'd likely sign another deal, probably an extension and in the mean time, Perine would still be the 3rd down guy as Joe's the #1. Then Perine is stuck for another few years and wasting his prime to be a spot starter/3rd down guy. With what Perine said, it's clear he wants a shot to be THE MAN, not the role he's doing in Cincinnati.
Not overly sure why people have such a hard time understanding things.
Everyone else's argument seems to be based on that JM will be cut. I'm not really sure what Bengals team you are following, but the Bengals model is to usually let their starters finish their contracts, barring unusual circumstances.
Then the usual off seasons, if they are planning to cut a player they typically do it as early as possible so the player can land with another team. So based on their past, if JM's not cut yet, then he's likely not going to get cut and will finish his contract.
As far as i can tell, the Bengals haven't really deviated from that yet.
EDIT:
Anyways, his source isn't telling us anything that most of us can't figure out. It's just not what most of you want to hear.
No. His "source" is just (possibly) some random person whose 'opinion' doesn't amount to anything more than any other human beings opinion, so it's a waste of time to cite it because it implies that someone knows more than the regular guy on the street...while he still stresses that it's 'this person's' "opinion".
Who gives a **** about some random dude that's giving an opinion that changes from day to day?
