We haven’t heard much from Jurrell Casey since he was released by the Broncos back in February, but that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of interest. According to Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com, the veteran defensive tackle “is mulling multiple offers.” However, a deal isn’t imminent.
Casey, 31, made the Pro Bowl every year from 2015-2019, and from 2013-2019, the USC product had at least five sacks from the interior. His best work earned him a four-year, $60.4M extension from the Titans. Last offseason, the Broncos agreed to take on that contract, and all it cost them (besides cash and cap flexibility) was a seventh-round pick.
Unfortunately for the Broncos, Casey’s first Denver season ended in September. Unable to return after a bicep tear, Casey finished out with just three appearances and a grand total of 14 tackles. It was his first season with fewer than 14 games played and his first ever sackless campaign.
Back in February, the Broncos cut the veteran, providing the organization with more than $11M in cap relief. Once teams identify their need for defensive line depth, there will surely be suitors who are willing to pony up for the five-time Pro Bowler.
