Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey‘s run with the Broncos is over after one season. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports and PFT has confirmed, via a league source, that the Broncos have released Casey. Casey was set to count for more than $11.8 million against the cap and the team clears all of that space as a result of the move. The Broncos sent a seventh-round pick to the Titans for Casey last March. He started the first three games of the season, but missed the rest of the year with a torn biceps. Casey made the Pro Bowl in each of his final five seasons with the Titans, so some team will likely be willing to bet on a rebound if he can show he’s healthy enough to play. ME - wonder how much he would cost? It's one of those players that are not going to get paid what they did before coming off an injury season but could be an above average player if he returns to past form.
Given the lowered cap number, it's the wrong year for teams to have much money to risk on players coming back from injury. In other words, I'd bet he'd take a $5 million deal with the promise of no tags in 2022.
