Titans players, Twitter react to Jurrell Casey announcing retirement

The Tennessee Titans announced that franchise great, Jurrell Casey, has decided to retire, which he will make official during a press conference on Thursday at 1 p.m. CDT at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Casey will go down as one of the best Titans players in franchise history after making such an incredible impact over nine seasons with the team. He made five Pro Bowls, was a six-time defensive captain, and ranks seventh in franchise history with 51 sacks.

Casey’s ending with the Titans was a rough one, though, as he was traded to the Denver Broncos for a seventh-round pick in 2020, a move that was a surprise to most of us, including Casey, who was understandably upset.

However, Casey made it clear that the past is past and that he “will be a Titan forever.”

“But the Titans, they gave me the blessing to be here,” Casey said. “I was upset at the time, but that doesn’t change the fact I love the Tennessee Titans and I will always love them. I will be a Titan forever.”

We fully expect Casey to be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor at some point in the future. Here’s a look at how some of his former teammates and the rest of Titans twitter reaction.
