1 year deal per Terez Paylor.
Discuss... |
We shore up the defense this team will be god damn scary
|
More from Paylor on Twitter...
Amerson has a agreed to a 1-year deal worth $2.25M base with escalating incentives, I’m told. |
This signing makes me amorous.
|
any good?
|
I think Tyreek got him benched against us if I remember right. He’s been good in the past.. Not a bad prove it deal

From the 15-16 season... PFF’s most improved player, but I think he’s struggled since

He’s way better than Gaines, Acker or Reasor. |
Hopefully not a ton of it guaranteed.
|
Once again Veach finds a highly touted college player that another team quit on.
Unlike Ragland, Amerson has already had some success in the pros |
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? |
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 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...son?id=2540170 |

$2.25 million says backup and depth, not starter. |
I REALLY like how Veach is attacking things now instead of waiting
Getting things done |

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

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

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. |

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

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.

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 |

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. |

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.

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. |
From a Raiders forum...

And one perk:
Amerson does not count against the compensatory pick formula as he was released by Oakland. Watch Veach do the same with Wilkerson out of New York.... :) |

He was very good before he got hurt last year.

Now, Amerson doesn’t have his talent, but he’s got a lot more than most CBs. |
Can he play safety?

To me, it sounded like it came straight from the mouth of someone within the building because I know the reporter was no Chiefs fan. May have been Rapoport or Schefter. |
He's better than Phillip Gaines. That's about the best thing about it

You can do a lot worse than Amerson as your #4 corner.
He might’ve sucked last year, but he’s shown the ability to be a good player before and he’s still only 26. Solid move. |
He won’t be on the roster in 2019 mark it down.

Quote:
Same as Sean Smith But nah, Veach was looking for the same kind of boundary player as Smith, and he most likely got his man |
Trash.
|
Yuck

Not thrilled with this move but it’s a cheap deal and he’s a depth corner. Hopefully he heals up and can produce in a different defense.
|
4 CB deep that’s a hell of a Defence now let’s find a good OLB or DE.
|
Is he better than Gaines and Acker?

Fuller Nelson Amerson Now we can add a draft pick in round 3, or that’s at least what I’d do |

I’d add a #2 TE before corner too... |
