David Amerson went through a workout with the Cardinals on Tuesday, per NFL reporter Howard Balzer (on Twitter), and it evidently went well.
The veteran cornerback agreed to terms with the Cards on Tuesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
It’s been a season-long odyssey on the workout circuit for Amerson. Both the Chiefs and Raiders released Amerson this year, with the former doing so just before the season. Since, he’s been traveling to auditions in hopes of getting back in the league. The Cards will afford him that opportunity.
Amerson was a full-time starter for the Redskins and Raiders from 2014-17. He delivered a strong 2015 season and then signed an extension to stay with the Raiders. He wasn’t as consistent in 2016 or ’17, but started for the playoff-qualifying Raiders two years ago. Last season, Amerson was limited to six games.
In between his Chiefs and Cardinals employment, Amerson logged an extensive workout tour. He tried out for seven teams prior to his Cards workout — the Lions, Cowboys, Bills, Patriots, Packers, Saints and Dolphins. The Cards and Dolphins auditions occurred this month. The others came in September. The former second-round pick visited with both the Bears and Texans in February.
The Jon Gruden-led regime released him prior to free agency. The Cardinals will face the Raiders on Sunday. Arizona still has a roster spot available after the Amerson deal.
Justin Pugh continues to have lousy injury luck. The well-paid free agent addition will head to IR because of a knee injury he sustained in Week 10.
The former first-round Giants pick has not played a full season since his 2013 rookie year.
For the Cardinals, it’s more of the same on a front that’s been battered by setbacks in recent seasons. This year, Arizona already lost center A.Q. Shipley for the season before it started and was without Mike Iupati in Week 10.
Pugh signed a five-year, $45MM deal to trek to Arizona. He’s tethered to the Cardinals’ roster for a while. This will be the second straight season in which he’ll spend at least eight games out because of injury. A back problem ended his final Giants campaign after eight games in 2017. Pugh played just 11 games in 2016.
Ten offensive linemen are still on Arizona’s roster, however, and some less experienced players will be called to action. This isn’t new for the Cards, though.
Last season, they saw Iupati and tackles D.J. Humphries and Jared Veldheer go down, damaging their ground attack during a season that featured rampant trouble with quarterback health. This year isn’t going nearly as well on the field, with the Cards at 2-7. The team’s issues unleashing David Johnson may well continue after the Pugh news.
