Chiefs sign free agent CB David Amerson

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.

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

He also embarrassed Casey Heyward, who was pretty good otherwise. Hill tends to do that to guys!

I sure hope not! I want mean, nasty corners on this team.

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

David Amerson, CB, Oakland Raiders

Amerson was the Redskins’ second-round pick in 2013, and saw the field in every game during his rookie season. He struggled with consistency throughout the year, and finished with a relatively low coverage grade, which placed him 92nd out of 110 cornerbacks. Last season his coverage grade dropped even further, and he slid all the way down to 106th at his position. Amerson was released after Week 1 this season, and was subsequently picked up by the Raiders, where he’s been a completely different player ever since.

The former NC State standout posted a positive production grade in 2015, despite being targeted 104 times (sixth-most among NFL CBs). On those targets, he allowed just 58 completions and one touchdown. He tied for fifth overall with 13 passes defensed, and also picked off four passes. Last season, he allowed more completions (61) on fewer targets (91), and an NFL-high 10 touchdowns when targeted. Quarterbacks had a 140.2 rating when targeting Amerson in 2014; this season, that number has dropped to 62.7. His improvements have brought him up to an 83.4 overall grade, good for 15th out of all cornerbacks this season

Nah, he hasn’t been as good as Steve Nelson but it’s a good signing.

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
