In trading for DT Jurrell Casey, Broncos take advantage of Tennessee Titans’ desperation

Sometimes, the most low-risk trades are executed with teams who are semi-desperate.

Enter the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans were looking to shed salary after signing quarterback Ryan Tannehill and using the franchise tag on running back Derrick Henry.

The Broncos were looking to reboot their defensive line.

Following a week of discussions, the Broncos agreed to send one of their three seventh-round picks (No. 237) to Tennessee for five-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jurrell Casey.

The Titans received more than $10 million in cap relief.

The Broncos hope they received a dominant player in the realm of Geno Atkins or Gerald McCoy.
