The Chiefs signed cornerback David Amerson Friday night to a one-year deal, the team announced.

Amerson was released by the Raiders earlier this month to save cap room. The former second-round pick missed last season's final eight because of a foot injury. He made 33 starts in three seasons with the Raiders, intercepting six passes with 46 passes defensed.

In 2015, after moving from the Redskins to the Raiders after just two games, Amerson finished tied for the NFL lead in passes defensed with 26. He also had four interceptions that season.

The Chiefs signed former Pro Bowler Darrelle Revis midseason last year, but released him earlier this month, leaving room for Amerson.
