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.
