NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- James Casey is a good guy to have on a roster.
The tight end/H-back is versatile. He can line up on the line or in the backfield. He can even play some snaps out of the slot.
He didn’t do much in Philadelphia where he was an early free-agent addition for Chip Kelly’s Eagles.
Colleague Adam Caplan says the Titans are on Casey’s tour of teams as he looks for his next job.
The Titans have a top tight end in Delanie Walker. Craig Stevens is a very good blocker, but he missed all but five games last year due to injuries.
Taylor Thompson looked primed to emerge as a good pass target but he only played three games before a knee injury cost him the rest of the season.
The Titans wound up using Chase Coffman in 13 games, Brett Brackett in seven and Matthew Mulligan in two while overloading Walker.
Casey would do a lot to bolster depth.
But he can probably find a situation where he’d start out better than competing for the third spot.
