3 trade targets Rams should consider from Titans in 2019 before training camp
By Dan Parzych
3. Jurrell Casey
As difficult as it was for the Rams to move on from Rodger Saffold, who coincidentally signed with the Titans in free agency, this offseason since they knew he would be too expensive to bring back, the scenario was similar to Ndamukong Suh as well.

One year after convincing Suh to come on board to team up with Aaron Donald on the defensive line to cause all sorts of fear in opposing quarterbacks, Los Angeles knew it would be too expensive to bring the veteran back on another hefty deal.
While the Rams are fortunate enough to have a few key players such as Tanzel Smart and Greg Gaines who seem capable of helping fill the void left by Suh, just imagine what the addition of another experienced veteran like Jurrell Casey could do for this defense.
Two years ago, the Titans made the easy decision to sign Casey to a hefty four-year extension worth a little more than $60 million to keep their defense in tip-top shape, meaning he’s going to be expensive to keep around.
A move like this would seem questionable for a team like the Rams with their current salary cap situation, but also with Casey coming off his fourth Pro Bowl season in a row to go along with seven sacks in 2018, a few adjustments to make this happen seems worth it.
