The Cincinnati Bengals are bringing back a familiar face to bolster the backfield, as they will sign running back Samaje Perine to a two-year deal worth up to $3.8 million according to [Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.](https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1899174850083659847)
Perine previously played with the Bengals from 2020 to 2022 as a backup behind starting back Joe Mixon. Now, he'll presumably resume that same role behind Chase Brown, who established himself as Cincinnati's lead back last season.
