Jul 16, 2016 8:15 PM

David Amerson and the Oakland Raiders have agreed upon a four-year extension worth as much as $38 million with nearly $18 million in guarantees.

The former North Carolina State cornerback was named Pro Football Focus' Most Improved Player in 2015, an award that factors in PFF's production grades throughout the season. The analytics site references that quarterbacks had a 140.2 rating when targeting Amerson in 2014, but in 2015, that number has dropped to 62.7.

A waiver-wire pickup in 2015, Amerson joined the Raiders after two seasons and two games with washington.

Nevada Tourism Panel Discusses Nine Potential Sites For Raiders

Jul 12, 2016 2:03 PM

The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee held a special meeting Monday to discuss nine potential sites for a 65,000-seat stadium that would be the home of the Oakland Raiders.

The estimated price tag has gone up, from an initial $1.4 billion to possibly as much as $2.1 billion. The rise in price would be in part due to land acquisitions, as well as the stadium now being proposed as a retractable dome.

Mark Davis has said that he would prefer a retractable dome as well as a natural grass playing surface.
