Raiders just cut David Amerson

[RunKC]

Per ESPN.

A bit of a surprising move. Most likely bc he is getting paid north of $6 million for the rest of his contract.
I hope Veach makes a play for a team friendly contract.

26 years old
6’1” 200+Lbs
4.35 40
6.75 3 cone

Would be a nice depth player IMO

Size speed looks fairly enticing on the surface...

I honestly don't know much about the kid, but those numbers are hard to argue against...

I must admit though that I loved Gaines' size speed combination and that has me looking through very murky glasses.

[The Franchise]

I think he’d want to much to be role player.

[mcaj22]

depth player lol. He's not coming here to play basically 4th string

[lawrenceRaider]

Amerson has had issues with concussions. I'm wondering if he'll even play again.

[BlackHelicopters]

No, thank you.

[In58men]

Dude is fucking garbage. My two BFFs are die hard Raider fans and they’ve been wanting him gone since week 4. Both texted me last night pretty much saying the exact same thing

“good way to start the offseason”

“I think the Raiders and Chiefs will have one of the best offseasons”

[WilliamTheIrish]

Every game I saw him play (limited sample size...4 maybe). He got destroyed. Just killed. Like anybody on our team not named Peters.

So thst means he'd be perfect Sutton!

He just isnt a number 1 corner, he isnt a bad player but he isnt good either

[BleedingRed]

He looks like FS to me

[-King-]

All I know from raiders fans is that he gets burnt all game every game.

Nope....not good enough

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He s fucking terrible, dude

[KCrockaholic]

He sucks. A lot of people overrate him for some reason.

[CoMoChief]

I remember lot of people here wanted kc to draft him coming out of college.

Hes sucked in the league so far though.

[ILChief]

Never heard of him

[Easy 6]

Now that we have Fuller, this guy is an easy NO... draft another guy with one our 3rds and roll

[DaneMcCloud]

Amerson and the entire Raiders defense has been under-coached and outside of the talented Khalil Mack, completely under-performed.

I wouldn't mind taking a one year Vet Min flyer on a 6'3 26 year old cornerback that has experience in the league.

He has to be better than Acker, Reason, Gaines and Mitchell, right?

If Veach and Sutton see something in him, I certainly wouldnt argue against it for vet minimum

But like mcaj was saying, would he wanna come here to be the 3rd or 4th guy for relative peanuts? If so, then yeah lets get him... he does have some intriguing measurables

[DaneMcCloud]

But like mcaj was saying, would he wanna come here to be the 3rd or 4th guy for relative peanuts?

I'm not sure he'll have much of a choice, whether it's the Chiefs or some other CB needy team, as his play has not lived up to expectations.

At 26, he has a year or so to "rehab" his image, which may be just what he needs.

Or not.

[staylor26]

He could be a decent option to come in at RCB when we go to nickel and Fuller slides inside.

Yup. Sean Smith didn’t exactly have a glowing resume when he left Miami.
This guy is a nice fit for what this staff looks for. Getting him cheap would be great for depth.

This guy had a bad year but it should be noted that he had a bad lingering foot injury that hurt him most of the season.

[ModSocks]

He should come cheap on a 1 yr prove it deal. His measureables are impressive, but hasn't this guy been a disappointment up to this point?

As Dane said, everyone on that D has been a disappointment so maybe a change of coaching may help.

[O.city]

Meh if you could get him on a decent deal I guess


I’d rather draft some corners

So many holes and only so many picks.

[O.city]

So many holes and only so many picks.

Yeah true.

I’m also of the opinion that you’re pretty much always gonna have holes and injuries.

Just put as many good players on the 53 as you can and let it shake out.

Imo they need to get younger and faster in the front 7 first and foremost though

ILB, D line (2) and safety are the priorities in the draft.

The Chiefs don't have 1st or 5th rounders this year and I expect Veach to draft a punter with one of the 6th round picks while using the others and a 7th to move up for guys they're targeting.

Plus, it's highly unlikely that they find a starting corner in the 4th round or later this year.

The Chiefs could do (and have done) a lot worse than a secondary with Peters, Fuller, Nelson, Parker and Berry as starters.

Depth is obviously a concern but without a 0 Tech on the roster, the lack of 5 Tech's and a WILL, Veach needs to get those guys via the draft before taking another CB with a high pick.

I’m not all for spending on a corner this offseason unless it’s Althea too guy on the market and even then, it seems excessiv.

All my free agent spending in the defense would go to the front 7.

I wouldn’t spend a lot of high picks on corners per say unless someone they love slips to them, but I don’t think they really need many more corners

[Shoes]

David Amerson is a trash can- even though he can move pretty quickly for a trash can, he is still a trash can.

[staylor26]

I’m all in on front 7 with our first 3 picks barring a stud safety, corner, or guard unexpectedly falling into our lap

John Dorsey's best attribute, IMO, was his decision to sign talented players that had underperformed elsewhere, whether due to scheme or injury, to Vet Minimum Deals.

Many of those immediately filled out the roster in guys like Kurt Coleman, Hussain Abdullah, Tyvon Branch and Quinton Demps. His downfall, of course, was failing to adequately address those positions in the following draft, which led to a dearth of quality depth, which was the main reason why the Chiefs failed in 2017.

IMO, Veach should definitely seek out players like an Amerson and sign them to a 1 year deal while filling bigger holes in the 2018 draft.

[RunKC]

Nagy is already bringing this guy in for a visit. LMAO

[T-post Tom]

No thanks. There's supposed to be a good CB market this offseason.

[Sassy Squatch]

Nagy is already bringing this guy in for a visit. LMAO
Other visits as well. With this much interest its doubtful he'll be coming here on a reasonable contract.

Well, he got a bit more than Vet Min but a $2.25 million dollar prove it deal allows Veach to focus elsewhere in the draft this year.

Peters, Fuller, Nelson and Amerson is a good group.

It’ll be interesting to see if they re-sign Mitchell or give up on him.

[Easy 6]

No qualms saying my initial take was flawed, this is a solid roll of the dice

Veach is looking for his own Sean Smith, no complaints here...

I'm liking Veach.

Young and aggressive. Works his roster year round, not just at the beginning of free agency.

I think you try to keep him as depth.

Acker, Gaines are all gone.

Love how aggressive Veach is. This defense is going to have young talent, depth and speed.

Maybe you should find new friends . Try upgrading to people smarter than you. That's what I do from time to time but it's really difficult at my level.

I hope they resign Mitchell. He had a LOT of good moments. He's quality depth and ascending. 4 int's this year, dropped 2 more that I remember and was picked on a lot thanks to Peters.

I heard the deal could go up to close to the $6mill mark seems like a lot for another trash guy even at $2mill.

Looks like they are trying to upgrade from Gaines and Mitchell.

Here is the link stating that it could be worth up to $6Mill
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000916632/article/chiefs-sign-exraiders-cb-david-amerson-to-1year-deal

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports Amerson joins on a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, according to a source informed of the situation.

The Oakland Raiders released the fifth-year player earlier this month after three seasons. He played in and started six games for Oakland during the 2017 season, recording career lows in passes defensed (4) and tackles (14) while missing most of the year with a foot injury

Yes, but how attainable are those incentives to get to the sum of $6 mil.? That’s the question.

My guess: if dude plays a lot and balls out, he makes close to 6 mil. (which I’m sure everyone on here would be okay with). If he sucks, and he’s nothing more than injury fill in depth player or 4th stringer, they’re only paying him around 2 mil. for one year.

If that’s the case, who gives a shit? :shrug:

[Hoover]

Every team needs roll players.


We paid Kenneth Acker $2,4 million over the past two years. I would sat Amerson is better and with more upside.I hope he earns those options, but it not, we can just move on. Never understand why people stress out over depth signings. Its not like we didn't already add Fuller to go with Peters.... Come on people!

[MTG#10]

Try looking for people who resemble this:
