The Broncos made a notable, yet unsurprising, move on Thursday morning when thye announced the release of veteran defensive tackle Jurrell Casey. Casey was traded to the Broncos for seventh-round pick prior to the 2020 season and Denver only managed to get three games of play out of him before he ended up on injured reserve for the remainder of the year.
The move was a smart one for the Broncos as it relieved $11.8 million off their books for 2021 which helps pave the way for a new deal for safety Justin Simmons and a potential contract extension for Von Miller.
