What It Means:

It's a huge raise for a player who was owed just $880,000 in the final year of his contract, and was a colossal bust in Washington. A big, physical press corner, Amerson was an immediate starter for Oakland after getting waived from Washington last year, and should remain a cornerstone of a blossoming defense for the Silver and Black.

Our algorithms project Amerson for 73.79 tackles, 5.65 interceptions and 20.77 passes defended in 2016. This Raiders defensive unit has a lot of sleeper appeal for those in team defense fantasy leagues.
