Chiefs sign free agent CB David Amerson
 

The guy is garbage.

Raider fans were ecstatic when he got cut.

The only good thing about this is that we are not overly committed to him.

A “meh” signing in other words.

It was a three year contract, he was signed to start. All I'm saying is he wasn't a lotto ticket like this guy.

This, no doubt about it

Worst case scenario, he still provides an upgrade to our CB depth.

I thought dj said his restructure last year voided this year?

Amerson sucks. He's horrible. He was getting torched in every game I watched the Raiders play. My best friend (raider fan) is laughing his ass off at this. No way he's better than Nelson.

He is a second round pick who under performed early on, exactly the same as Sean Smith

Obviously thats no guarantee he will be as good for us as Smith was, but at least recognize that this was indeed a good 'roll of the dice'... we've had some luck with guys like Amerson before

Yes but the Chiefs decided not to bring him back.

He wanted to come back, even on a cheap deal but the Chiefs said they were moving on from him.

Chiefs signed CB David Amerson to a one-year, $2.25 million contract.
Amerson can earn another $3.75 million through incentives. This, of course, is not the destination the Raiders would have picked. Amerson, 26, stays in the AFC West with Kansas City, which needs a starting right cornerback across from LCB Marcus Peters with Kendall Fuller in the slot. Amerson was a 2015 revelation in Oakland after a trade from Washington, then fizzled out immediately after signing a 2016 five-year, $34 million deal. On a one-year prove-it contract with the Chiefs, Amerson will have full motivation in 2018.


Looks like the max he can get is $6 million.

Not to mention, Smith sure was a stud here... and then he went to Oakland. And looked like AIDS.

Point being, who other than Khalil Mack has been consistently good in that defense for the past several years? No one since Asomugha.

Amerson is coming here on a prove-it deal, and he gets to play in a secondary with 3 Pro Bowl/AP level players around him. If it’s my money, I’d bet on him having success.

Depth in the secondary! A wasteland last season. Not sure I like him more than Terrence Mitchell but I can appreciate the Chiefs trying to shake things up if they see potential. He’s no worse than Gaines.

He's better than Gaines, but he still sucks.

Jack Dios Mio, and Ken Norton Jr could **** up a cup of coffee

If Amerson has any talent, Al Harris and Emmitt Thomas will find it

So this is interesting. Apparently Amerson missed the last 9 games last season. Team doctors were shooting up his shoulder at half time of the first Chiefs game when he complained about his foot being injured. This was the same game that Tyreek burned him, of course. Not that the foot injury would have mattered, but the point is he wasn’t healthy.

Peters, Fuller, Amerson, Nelson, Mitchell,
Out: Revis, Acker, and likely Gaines

Yeah, we are better in the secondary already.

I think Parker will get cut too. They need some range and speed at safety along with willing tacklers. I think McQuay sticks as cheap depth along with Terrell, but I expect a high pick investment in safety. Murray and Sorenson were not good last season.
