Source: Chiefs sign CB David Amerson to 1-year, $2.25M deal

David Amerson will stay in the AFC West after the Kansas City Chiefs announced they had signed the free agent cornerback on Friday.

The Oakland Raiders released Amerson on Feb. 5, saving some $6 million against their salary cap.

The deal with Kansas City is a one-year, $2.25 million base salary contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Amerson, 26, played in just six games (all starts) last season and missed the final eight because of a foot injury. He made 33 starts in all for the Raiders in three seasons, intercepting six passes with 46 passes defensed.
