One of the big names still left on the free-agent market is former Broncos safety Justin Simmons.
In a recent chat with the Denver media, Simmons expressed his thoughts on the uncertainty of his future.
“Obviously, it’d be so great right now to know where I’m going…But ultimately, I think it’s challenging me in a positive way,” Simmons told Bradey King of Denver7 News.

Simmons, with his impressive track record, stands out in the free-agent pool.
As a Pro Bowl safety, he leads the position in interceptions since entering the league in 2016 (30).
He consistently puts up strong performances with 70+ tackles and multiple interceptions in five of his eight NFL seasons.
His standout season in 2022, where he co-led the league in interceptions despite playing only 12 games, showcased his elite skills.
Considered by many as the top safety available, Simmons is a valuable asset for any team.
With Jamal Adams recently signing with Tennessee, the list of potential suitors for Simmons shrinks.
Whoever secures the services of this nine-year veteran will gain a player ready to contribute immediately.
Simmons excels both in run support and as a ball-hawking safety, making him a versatile defender.
Look for a contender in need of an impact player to make a move for Simmons in the near future.
