This Offense is coming up short because of the absence of these two players more than you might think.
Hurst was grossly overpaid. We would have been crazy to give him a 3-year deal at over $7 million per. He is 30 this year.
Perine was cheaper, but we are not really missing him. He was not worth $3.5 million a year to us. Perine is on his 4th team in 7 years. He has been cut by multiple NFL teams. He just is not very good. He averaged 17.4 yards per game as a Bengals and is down to 15.7 with the Broncos.
