Broncos release Jurrell Casey – ProFootballTalk

Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey’s run with the Broncos is over after one season.

Adam Schefter of the ESPN and PFT reports confirmed, via a league source, that the Broncos released Casey. Casey was due to count for over $ 11.8 million against the cap and the team is wiping out all that space in the wake 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 has made 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 both moves have opened up about $ 24 million in cap space for the team to use this offseason.
