You sure Bill O’Brien isn’t the Titans GM as well?

Jurrell Casey is 30 years old, signed through 2023 and one of the league's better DTs.
Denver gets a star player for a 7th.
Bit of a head-scratcher for TEN, but it nonetheless opens up more snaps for 2019 1st Jeffery Simmons behind DaQuan Jones

Jurrell Casey has been one of most underrated players in the league for the last decade. Absolute force inside. He can still play, too.
Wonder if Titans are shooting their shot for Jadeveon Clowney next? https://t.co/6D6QHsHL3x

Welcome to the Mile High City Jurrell Casey! A run stuffing beast who can also get to the QB. Great move by Elway who I never doubted for a second pic.twitter.com/Se8b1pdXt4

Imagine not having Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, and Jurrell Casey on your team

I'm totally lost here. I know Casey is 30, but he's still very good and he's a pretty reasonable rate for three more years. Why move on from him and why do it for just a 7th round pick??
Nobody is offering a 6th round pick for Jurrell Casey? https://t.co/L76tGD8wPn

New Broncos DT Jurrell Casey is under contract through 2022 at a base value just over $12M/year. He's played in 139 of 144 games, with at least 5.0 sacks in seven straight seasons. A forceful interior rusher, excellent teammate and fills an immediate need.

The Broncos essentially traded Andy Janovich for Jurrell Casey. Wow.
Broncos got a 7th for Jano.
