A TWO-TIME Super Bowl champion who was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs last season still has yet to join an NFL franchise.
The player was part of two Chiefs‘ Super Bowl-winning teams led by the iconic head coach Andy Reid.

The NFL offseason is well underway as the new league year and free agency began in March.
The 2025 NFL Draft took place late last month as teams are getting ready for OTAs (Organized Team Activities) next week.
However, there is one unemployed former Chiefs player who can only sit at home and wait for a phone call in hopes that it’s a team ready to sign him.
Free agent running back La’Mical Perine remains without a team after being released by the Chiefs last May.
The 27-year-old last played with the Chiefs in the 2023 season.
He appeared in three contests during that campaign as he was part of the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl champion teams in 2022 and 2023.
Perine entered the league in 2020 as a fourth-round draft pick by the New York Jets.
Since he arrived in the NFL, Perine hasn’t been able to earn a starting role.
He scored his first NFL touchdown in October 2020 but saw his rookie campaign come to an end early due to injury.
The Jets released Perine in 2022 and landed on two teams’ practice squads before joining the Chiefs.

During his last season in Kansas City, he posted 22 rushing attempts for 77 yards and caught three passes for 33 yards.
Perine was released by the Chiefs on May 17, 2024.
Less than a week later, he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers to a one-year deal.
Perine was waived by the Steelers last August and a few days later signed to the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad.
However, he would be cut by the Packers in September 2024 and sign back with the Steelers a month later.

But he would be released by the Steelers in late October.
Perine didn’t play a single snap in the 2024 season.
During his career, he has tallied 94 rushing attempts for 340 yards and two touchdowns, including 14 receptions for 96 receiving yards.
He is the cousin of NFL linebacker Myles Jack and running back Samaje Perine, who spent time with the Chiefs last year.
