Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey’s run with the Broncos is over after one season.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports, and PFT has confirmed through a competition source that the Broncos have released Casey. Casey would count for over $ 11.8 million against the cap, and the team is freeing up all 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 bicep.
Casey made it to the Pro Bowl in each of his last five seasons with the Titans, so some teams will likely be willing to bet on a rebound if he can show he’s healthy enough to play.
The Broncos also released cornerback AJ Bouye this month, and the two moves opened up about $ 24 million in cap space for the team to use this off-season.
