I don’t necessarily have high expectations for Amerson— I just don’t see any reason to not like the move. At the very worst, he’s an upgrade over what we’ve had in the 4th or 5th CB role as of late. At the best, he’s a starter who has the luxury of playing with Berry, Peters, and Fuller.
If Nelson ends up starting anyways, there are a lot worse 4th CBs in this league than Amerson. [Reply]

Yep, you're right. I don't even think he'd beat Nelson anyways. To me, I don't like the move because I just don't care about it. And it's like Gaines to me. Gaines could be free, but I still can't stand him because he's horrible. It has nothing to do with the money to me. It's about if he'll hurt the team on the field, and Amerson has a history of hurting teams, especially getting beat deep. I hope we draft another CB and Amerson doesn't even make the team. [Reply]

Jack Del Rios coaching staff was a damn joke, you're being needlessly negative
No one is promising Amerson is the next Sean Smith, but all of the relevant markers are there to say he is a safer bet than many, particularly some rookie [Reply]

I've been following Amerson since NC State. He was not good there either. He put up great measurables and profited off of it. He's a bad football player. End of story to me. [Reply]
“You know what? You gotta get a guy like [Hue] players. And you know what, I'll come straight out with it, the guys who were here before and that system, they didn't get real players. I think as Bill Parcells would always say, ‘you are your record.’ That's the truth-teller in this whole thing. I'm going to do my darndest to get Hue players. And that's all I can ask for, and that's all I can do. I like the man.”
I keep thinking about this quote from Dorsey shortly after he got the Cleveland gig.
With tons to spend, and mega draft capital, I think Dorsey will be looking to move a number of picks to get bonafide talent that fits his mold. The Browns do not need to get younger. They can package a couple picks to get elite draft talent using their multiple 2nd and 3rd rounders to jump back into the 1st round, but I believe Dorsey will look to add a few solid roster starters/rotational players with some of this capital. Why wouldn’t he look at KC and deal with Veach? KC could recoup some of the draft capital they lost in acquiring Mahomes.
Just my speculation, but Dorsey could be willing to move picks for guys like:
Morse
Conley
Nelson
Ware
West
KPass
I would not be shocked if this materialized, where one or two players get moved for picks so Veach could put his own stamp on the roster. Dorsey gets some of “his guys” still on rookie deals that he invested in. [Reply]

This thread has all the hallmarks of something you might not wanna see bumped soon... we'll see :-) [Reply]

Bump me! Lol. But not after 1 lucky game. Let things add up. He sucks. That's it. I honestly hope he does something to prove me totally wrong. But I've been following this guy long enough. Measurables don't make a football player. [Reply]
He's better than what the Chiefs have at the bottom of the CB/DB depth chart so it looks okay to my eyes. Not much money spent and they improve the floor level of talent. Not every signee is going to be a starter or have a big impact starting day 1. [Reply]
He's not going to be asked to cover top tier WRs in KC like he was in OAK. I think the Chiefs will have him in a more comfortable position to succeed. He can start in a pinch, he's good depth, good insurance policy if a guy gets injured. He has NFL experience so he's not some project draft pick that they don't have time for. On paper he will be covering at best other teams WR2s or WR3 if the season started tomorrow.
Oakland asked a lot out of him, and overpaid for it. The Chiefs, not so much. [Reply]
