Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson are entrenched as starters for Kansas City's secondary, but the team went through a revolving door withย Phillip Gaines,ย Kenneth Acker, Darrelle Revisย andย Terrance Mitchell as the No. 3 cornerback in 2017.ย
Amerson was originally drafted 51st overall by Washington in 2013. The 26-year-old has spent the past three seasons with the Oakland Raiders. A foot injury kept him out for the final nine games last season, though he still tied for fifth on the team with four passes defensed.ย
