The Bears are set to meet with David Amerson on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. The cornerback also has other free agent visits scheduled, Rapoport adds. 
The Raiders cut Amerson on Monday, just before his $5.5MM base salary would have become fully guaranteed. In 2016, the Raiders happily handed him a four-year, $35MM extension after he piled up 58 tackles and a career-best four interceptions in the previous season. He was solid in 2016, but he played in only six games in 2017 thanks to a concussion, shoulder injury, and a foot sprain.
If Amerson is healthy, he could be a major addition to the Bears or other cornerback-needy teams. In the aforementioned breakout campaign of 2015, he graded out as the 14th best cornerback in the league out of 111 qualified players. The 26-year-old’s next deal also figures to come in at a much lower rate than the $8.75MM average annual value of his previous pact.
Both of last year’s starting cornerbacks, Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara, are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. The Bears may look to retain both players, but that could prove to be too pricey, particularly in the case of Fuller. It’s also not a given that the Bears will be comfortable in making a major commitment to Fuller given his up-and-down career.
Sign him immediately
The McCaskeys would have to pay him money in order for that to happen. Don’t hold your breath.
The lamest of arguments. They McCaskeys have to spend just like every other team because of the CBA. The argument of any ownership being cheap can only be made when it comes to spending on front office personnel, coaches, and training facilities.
You’re not very good at this.
No wait till fa. Better chance for more money and years. Best landing spots in my mind are rams,eagles,bears,vikings.
Cardinals?
I want Philly to take a chance on him. He will be cheap, and there isn’t really much risk.
Good idea
