We were talking about having a top 5 secondary with Fuller, Peters, Nelson, and Amerson

Amerson was let go by Oakland (after being let go by Washington) and KC signed him very quickly afterwards. I don't think the plan was ever for him to play with Peters. While true that he was on the team when Peters was still there, Peters was traded shortly afterwards - I believe only a few weeks after Amerson signed.
IMO, he was signed only because they knew they were letting Peters go. No way the Chiefs decided to let Marcus Peters go on a whim.
But if you're correct in that they did plan to play him with Peters, then I can see him being a 4th CB.
But all that happened way back in February - it's August and Amerison is starting and is in WAY over his head. They had to know this would be the case. Yet they went with it.
