Is Jurrell Casey a Defensive Tackle or Defensive End?


I couldn't help but notice that on the depth chart for the defensive line it shows a defensive end, nose tackle and defensive tackle. With Jurrell Casey being the defensive tackle in a position that is almost always considered a defensive end. Also on many of the national sports sites and publications they have Casey listed as a 3-4 defensive end. I already looked and even with Horton in the past his depth charts have shown LDE, NT and RDE.

You might ask what difference does it make.... Well it makes a big difference if they have to use the franchise tag next offseason. In 2014 a defensive end got around $13 million while a defensive tackle got $9.5 million. Is it possible this could just be posturing for a franchise tag designation?

So once again is Jurrell Casey a defensive tackle or a defensive end?
