The mistake last year was not signing Amerson - that was a high risk/high reward move. The mistake was not having a backup plan and having to scramble for Orlando Scandrick at the last minute.
If they sign Verrett to an Amerson deal and then draft a CB high, that's a much better move than last year.
That's what I meant. Don't sign the guy expecting him to be a cheap reclamation project and to be a starter too. [Reply]

You sign him with the HOPE that he becomes a starter.
But you don't EXPECT anything.
No doubt. Again, they likely would already have Fuller, Ward, and Darby at this point. So you’re signing him with no expectations that he has to start.
HELL YES you do it in a heartbeat if you can get Verrett on a cheap-ish 1 year prove it deal. What do you have to lose? He was REALLY GOOD back in 2015 or 2016, or however long ago it was. If he's even 80% of what he flashed his first few years he's better than any corner currently on our roster (Ward's sample-size being too small). He's small, but he was ridiculously talented when he was healthy. I don't care about his shoulder, after a year, those are fine. ACL, not a big deal anymore. Achilles? DJ played pretty well after his first one. I don't want EXPENSIVE broke-dicks, but if we can take a cheap flyer on a once-stud broke-dick, sign him up. He might not make it out of camp before getting hurt, but if he does, we might have something. As a Chiefs fan, I was not looking forward to having to play against this guy for the next 10 years with the Chargers. Luckily it didn't turn out to be a problem. [Reply]
