One year deal. Had been rumored from the start of FA because he was a Texan under Kubiak.

This is your classic hybrid TE-FB who can block a little, catch a little, play special teams. He'll be a good role player.

Love these short-term contracts, massive dead money isn't an issue.

Yeah, I've complained about some of the signings this year but this should be a good one. Joe Don Duncan's roster spot is in jeopardy, though

Casey played mostly FB in Philly for the last 2 years. He's a very good blocker, and depth at TE and special teams. Another solid signing. Special teams is getting beefed up fairly well in the offseason.

Along with the fact that if they have a good year, we can either re-sign them or get a comp pick the year after when another team does.

It was always in jeopardy. He's a project

Duncan may end up on the Practice Squad.

Familiarity met opportunity, leading James Casey to agree to a one-year deal with the Broncos on Saturday.

Casey visited the Broncos during a February snowstorm, and when the skies cleared six weeks later, Denver still needed a utility player. Few offer Casey's versatility.

He ranks as the only player in the last three years to play 900 snaps on special teams and take 900 snaps from scrimmage. He also played for Gary Kubiak in Houston from 2009-12, extending the strong gravitational pull of ex-Texans to Dove Valley.

Casey will sign his contract on Monday when the Broncos begin phase one of their offseason program.

I'm glad. I've always liked him. I guess he and Daniels are teammates again.

Exactly, and since he was cut by Phili this is another signing that won't factor into comp picks next too.

I think that's the plan. Casey is the one year stop gap, with Duncan spending the year on PS getting used to the offense. If we let Casey walk next year, then Duncan(in theory) would be the next man up for the job.

So, do the Broncos draft a TE at all in the upcoming draft. Signed four TEs and another on the roster for a total of five?

I think they still take one, it just seems far less likely that we'll take one early. We'll probably get a project TE somewhere on day 3 to develop behind Daniels/Green.

Duncan is a long shot to make the team. I expect him to spend the season on the practice squad at best. I don't expect the Broncos to go after a Maxx Williams, but if the right guy is there in the mid to late rounds it's still a possibility. That's the nice thing about having 10 draft picks. Also factor in that Casey signed just a one year deal and will probably be used at FB more than TE.

I predict the Broncos will draft a TE, but they'll move him to OT.

However, they'll draft a WR and make him a TE.

They'll draft a FB and make him a G and draft a RB and make him a FB.

Because they fit the system.

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider 3h3 hours ago

James Casey one-year Broncos deal: $1.25 million, $500,000 roster bonus, $750,000 salary, deal has injury waiver, split salary

He was making $4 million per in Philly.

Nice numbers for a guy with the talent to start at either FB or TE, back up both, and be a cog on special teams.
