NFL Trade Rumors
In an interview with the Denver Post, veteran S Justin Simmons hit on a wide range of topics, including his release by the Broncos last offseason and what he’s looking for before he signs with another team.
He mentioned he plans to be pickier about his options in 2025 after signing with the Falcons last year and missing the playoffs by a whisker.
“I think Atlanta I would still pick 10 out of 10 times if I was in the spot (I was in) last year,” Simmons said. “But in terms of where I’m at now, (I’m) being a little bit more picky where we want to go and where we want to call home next … the next two years, a year, whatever it is … but a contender is No. 1 on the list right now.”
Simmons has been linked to the Panthers and the Eagles so far this offseason. Both teams need safety help and Simmons knows both Eagles DC Vic Fangio and Panthers DC Ejiro Evero well. Philadelphia fits the bill of a contender much more than Carolina, but the Panthers seem like a team on the rise.
As for his exit from Denver after being cut coming off a Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro season, Simmons said he has no ill will against Broncos HC Sean Payton.
