Tennessee Titans news: Twitter reacts as Jurrell Casey retires
All Tennessee Titans are not created equal. Every mention of retirement won’t stir up feelings of nostalgia and good times, but when someone like Jurrell Casey says he’s hanging up the cleats, that’s definitely worth a mention.
Talk about 53-man rosters and practice squad prospects are on hold for a little while. Today is Casey’s day as he formally announced his retirement from the National Football League
Ten years is a long time to do anything, and his final NFL season was played in Denver as a member of the Broncos. It never looked right though, did it?
Make no mistake about it. This young man bleeds two shades of blue, and at 1 p.m. CDT, he plans to address the media before his career concludes as it began, as a member of the Tennessee Titans. Take a look.

Jurrell Casey’s career in Tennessee will be remembered for five consecutive Pro Bowl nods (2015–2019) and a Second-team All-Pro designation that he was given in 2013? Only the Good Lord in Heaven knows why he didn’t earn a Pro Bowl nod for that season too.
He’s a shoo-in for the Titans Hall of Fame, and doggone it. He deserves some Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration as well. Let’s just go ahead and get that ball rolling.
Here’s what we can say and agree on. The Tennessee Titans won’t be retiring the number 99 jersey anytime soon. It’s currently being worn by Rashad Weaver, and even though we’ve only seen a few performances by him, you have to like what you’re seeing.

He’s charged with erasing the nightmare of watching Jadeveon Clowney suit up and rock those two familiar shades of blue, but if Weaver can be half the player that Casey was, Tennessee might have something.
Today is about Jurrell Casey though. He rides off into the sunset. Everyone wishes him the best. We’d like to thank him for some really great memories. We’d like to wish him luck in whatever venture he undertakes as he prepares for another chapter of life.
