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, $60.4MM 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 $11MM 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.
5x Pro Bowl 3-4 DE/4-3 DTs don’t grow on trees, but he’s gonna be expensive and a little long in the tooth.
I do not know who Casey agent is but he is doing a great job of saying — We are waiting for a training camp injury to unfold for an opportunity.
Casey is represented by Drew Rosenhaus (the master of double talk) – best known for his association with Antonio Brown.
Sounds like Dick Sherman. Nobody offered him but he is out there saying “ the right offer” dude you overplayed your hand. Enjoy punching the clock and being treated like the rest of us
I wonder if you’ve ever expressed a similar sentiment about some CEO who’s lost their job but gotten a golden parachute in the process, or some small business owner who, like half of them do, went belly up within five years. Or do you just reserve your resentment and schadenfreude for people who “play a game” to entertain you for a living, but who make a lot more money doing it than you do at whatever you do?
He will be on a team after week 1.
