What is the best possible scenario for both teams?

Let me clarify first, I want to be realistic. Obviously it would technically be the best case scenario if the Titans landed the next Aaron Donald with that 7th round pick and if Casey went on to have a 20 sack season.

Staying in reality, both of those things are ridiculous.

So, the best case scenario for the Broncos is that Casey is put into a situation where Denver blitzes behind him a lot to get him freed up consistently. In a limited role, Casey could thrive as the nickel rusher on a defensive front that doesn’t ask him to by multiple.

Casey focusing fully on winning as a 3-tech on the inside and handling guards gives him new life and he manages 5-8 sacks per year on the rest of his deal.

For the Titans, you hope that this move turns out to be less about the 7th round pick and more about the cap space freed up by this trade.

Whether that means going after a Pro Bowl talent at any position, or just landing a young player who is a great fit for this scheme either at EDGE or CB, the goal should be to get younger and more talented immediately and for the future as well.
