Blame the run game

Perine was better (or at least more consistent) than Mixon, at least based on the more limited sample size.
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.
