Amerson was released by the Cardinals on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With 61 NFL starts to Amerson's name and the looming six-game suspension of starting cornerback Patrick Peterson, this move comes as a bit of a surprise. The 27-year-old nonetheless heads to the free-agent market on the heels of a 2018 campaign in which he accrued 21 tackles, two pass breakups and one pick in six games. Amerson should have a decent market for his services.

Amerson (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson sustained a concussion during a Week 15 loss to the Falcons, but has managed to clear the league-mandated concussion protocol in time to suit up versus the Rams. Expect the veteran cornerback to draw his usual start opposite Patrick Peterson (illness).

Amerson suffered a possible concussion in Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson recorded one solo tackle before his injury forced Brandon Williams to play cornerback for the first time all season, according to Urban. Dontae Johnson, Quinten Rollins and Leonard Johnson would be candidates to fill in if Amerson misses time.

The Cardinals re-signed Amerson on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson was signed and subsequently released by the Cardinals last week, though Arizona had plans to bring him back. They made that happen Tuesday, and Amerson figures to provide secondary depth behind Patrick Peterson and Brandon Williams.

Amerson was released by the Cardinals on Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson signed with Arizona earlier in the week, but was let go as the team needed to add depth at kicker and defensive end. Urban indicates the 26-year-old could re-sign with the team next week, depending on the injury situation.

Amerson will sign a contract with the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs this offseason but failed to make the 53-man roster before the beginning of the regular season. The 26-year-old has logged previous stints with the Redskins and Raiders, recording 18 tackles and four passes defensed across six games in Oakland last season. For now, he'll be viewed as a depth option in Arizona's secondary.

Amerson was cut by the Chiefs on Monday, https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article217723565.html">Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran signed a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Chiefs this offseason but ultimately failed to impress the coaching staff amongst a wide open, revamped secondary. Amerson will now hit the market and look for a team needing to bolster their secondary.

Amerson (foot) agreed to a one-year contract with the Chiefs on Friday, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson was cut by the Raiders earlier in the month, which makes him eligible to sign before free agency officially commences. He will stay in the division by joining the Chiefs on an a deal with escalating incentives. The 26-year-old was drafted in the second round by the Redskins in 2013, but joined the Raiders in 2015 off waivers. His 2017 season ended following a foot injury in Week 7. It remains to be seen what type of role he will have in Kansas City, but he will look to impress once offseason activities begin.

Amerson (foot) was released by the Raiders on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson's release is likely linked to contractual stipulations. If the 26-year-old was still on the roster by this Wednesday Oakland would have owed Amerson $5.5 million in guaranteed money. Despite a big role in 2016, Amerson appeared in just six games for the Raiders this past season and registered just 18 combined tackles. With a relatively strong resume in his back pocket, Amerson should find a new home once free agency hits.

Amerson (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Amerson will end the season with nine consecutive absences due to the foot injury, making it surprising the Raiders never placed him on injured reserve. As has been the case throughout the second half of the campaign, Sean Smith, TJ Carrie and Dexter McDonald are expected to serve as the teams primary cornerbacks in the season finale.
