Perry has been waived by the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was claimed by the Pats off waivers in 2021 after he was dropped by the Dolphins. He was then ultimatley let go again and subsequently signed to the Saints' practice squad. Following the season, he ended up coming back to New England on a reserve/future contract. However, the journeyman will now have to again look for a new opportunity.

EDGE Analysis
Perry will join the Patriots for the 2022 season after being released by the team in November. The wide receiver hasn't appeared in the NFL since 2020, a season in which he caught nine passes for 92 yards and a score over nine games as a member of the Dolphins.

Perry (foot) signed with the Saints' practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
New England recently waived Perry off injured reserve, but the wideout/running back is healthy again and quickly found a new organization. The Saints are expected to quickly promote the 2020 seventh-round pick to the active roster, though it's unclear if Perry will be elevated prior to Thursday's game against the Bills.

The Patriots cut Perry (foot) from their injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was placed on the Patriots' injured reserve list early in September when he suffered a foot injury. The receiver was expected to fill a depth role at wide receiver for New England but instead will try to join a new team as soon as possible.

Perry (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was ruled out for Sunday's season opener due to a foot injury, and he'll be forced to miss at least the first three weeks of the season following his placement on IR. The 2020 seventh-rounder was claimed off waivers from the Dolphins in early September and will serve as depth at wide receiver once he's healthy.

The Patriots listed Perry (foot) as out ahead of Sunday's season opener, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Perry won't suit up Sunday after not practicing all week. The Patriots recently claimed Perry off waivers from the Dolphins, but his New England debut will have to be put on hold.

The Patriots claimed Perry off waivers from the Dolphins on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry played quarterback in college for Navy, but he has primarily worked as a wide receiver/kick-return specialist during his time in the NFL. The move is interesting for New England, as it already had six wideouts on the initial 53-man roster, including a premier returner in Gunner Olszewski. The signing could make Perry the de facto emergency quarterback behind Mac Jones while Jarrett Stidham is sidelined with a back injury.

Perry turned his only target into a 25-yard touchdown during Week 17's 56-26 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Perry only played two offensive snaps during the Dolphins' season finale, but he made the most of his opportunities by connecting with Tua Tagovailoa for a TD pass with 2:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. Of course, by that point the divisional tilt was well out of hand. The seventh-round selection appeared in nine contests as a rookie, during which span he secured nine of 13 targets for 92 yards and a score, primarily operating out of the slot when he did see the field. Perry also had three carries for five yards.

Perry rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
With DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) out of the lineup, Perry played 10 snaps on offense, working behind Lynn Bowden, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford. The Dolphins could roll with a similar setup in Week 16 against the Raiders, but the return of Parker or Grant could push Perry further out of the rotation.
