Chiefs sign free agent CB David Amerson

[TRR]

1 year deal per Terez Paylor.

Discuss...

[Chief Northman]

Taking a wait and see on this one. Is he CB#2 opposite Peters? (Kendall Fuller in slot in nickel, outside in Base).

Is my dream of Kyle Fuller to the Chiefs dead?

[Easy 6]

6'2 going 205 or so, 4.44 at the combine... kinda looks like another Sean Smith roll of the dice, he checks all of the same boxes with the same questions about hip flexibility, agility and beckpedal that Smith did

I'm down as hell with this, nothing is guaranteed... but we turned an under performing Smith into a quality CB, so theres no good reason to not expect similar production here

I think he’s the #4 guy behind Peters, Fuller and Nelson.

$2.25 million says backup and depth, not starter.

I REALLY like how Veach is attacking things now instead of waiting

Getting things done

I expect Hali to released next week or the week after, to give fans time to “mourn” the cutting of Derrick Johnson.

Are his dreams about Kyle Fuller dead?

He’s way better than Gaines, Acker or Reasor.

It’s interesting because Fuller was really good at slot last year, and Nelson has played most at slot CB. I think Amerson played outside for the Raiders. I just wonder who will play outside opposite Peters? Amerson, Fuller, Nelson or someone not yet on the roster? Very interesting!

Sean smith wasn't a roll of the dice.

Scot McCloughan said that Fuller is equally adept at outside as he is inside, so I’d expect him outside for the first two downs.

It probably depends on matchups as to whether or not he slips inside on 3rd down.

Why not?

TO DA SHUP!!!

JMO— but I think Amerson was signed to be the outside corner in nickel packages. There’s just no way he agrees to a deal that is filled with escalators if he doesn’t believe he’s going to play a good share of snaps.

[RunKC]

This is a great depth signing which allows Fuller to excel on 3rd down in the slot. You want Sutton to stop dropping Houston in coverage? Then fix the secondary, which Veach is doing.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Amerson was burned by Hill, but he also had a pick-six on Smith in 2015...

Excellent, that should really help. If we have Fuller able to play outside or inside, we gain a lot of flexibility in terms of depth.
