The guy had 6 INT’s and over 40 passes defended in 2015 and 2016. That’s worlds better than every corner we have after Peters/Fuller. And that was in a shit defense with a shit coaching staff.
This is a quality low risk move. He’s good depth and we desperately need that. |

They need a few dl and Olb signings like this before the draft and we’re good. I’m really on the trey burton bandwagon at this moment |

A good depth signing. Nothing not to like IMO. |

Well the good thing is he is on a contract year so that means he will be really really good. Hell we should only sign players to one year deals that way they're always on a contract year

Welcome aboard bud. This could be a steal if he plays up to his potential.

I like the signing a lot. I was rooting for it the moment the Raiders released him.
Everyone talks about how talented that Raiders D is and that whole unit, not just Amerson, underachieved. Hell, even Mack has been regressive two seasons in a row. That's a pretty good indication of coaching issues. Amerson's measurables stand out, he has fantastic size and straight line speed for the position. He's exactly the kind of guy you take a 1 year flyer on. Don't necessarily think of him as a starter outside, but instead, a replacement for Kenneth Acker/Philip Gaines...and maybe even Terrance Mitchel. |

Good luck David. I'm sure he will do a good job in KC. Sometimes all that is needed is a change and a fresh start. He made to the NFL. That in itself tells you he is more talented then most who played.

Amerson on the outside so Fuller can stay in the slot.

Great point by former Bears scouting director Greg Gabriel—most good CBs (the top 10-12) for the past handful of years all get selected in the first 3 rounds of the draft. Teams know how valuable they are and can’t wait for them in the mid rounds.
With Veach already acquiring Fuller and Amerson, it just gives us some freedom in the draft. We don’t have to reach for a CB with one of those first two picks because right now we’ve got 4 guys who could start at least serviceably, probably. |
