Denver Broncos – Free Safety Justin Simmons

We shouldn’t expect to see Simmons actually hit the open market — most reports indicate that Denver is optimistic that they’ll be able to secure a long-term extension with Simmons before free agency opens next month.

And if they’re unable to do that, the franchise tag is still absolutely on the table for the former Boston College alumni. Simmons has three years as a starter under his belt in the Broncos defense and enjoyed his best year to date in 2019 under new head coach Vic Fangio — logging career highs in interceptions (4), passes defensed (15) and finished the season allowing an opposer passer rating of 43.6 on 53 targets into his coverage.

He’s good.

Simmons would be a great addition but feels like a long-shot to actually see the market.
