Isaiah Simmons was released by Green Bay ahead of the 53-man cutoff, opening a fresh chapter for a former top-10 pick whose career has been a tale of positional versatility. Simmons posted 329 tackles in five seasons but started only five times over the past two years, making him a prime candidate for a defensive chess piece on a new squad. Fantasy managers should monitor his next landing for a potential role that blends linebacker, nickel, and safety duties.

Arizona’s cuts included several depth pieces, notably Andre Baccellia and Clayton Tune, underscoring how quickly rookie or depth players shift on NFL rosters. Tune, a Cardinals quarterback, could be a camp-to-practice-squad hopeful, while Baccellia’s speed gives him a path as a return specialist or depth option if he lands elsewhere. Simmons’ next destination will heavily influence his fantasy upside, depending on scheme fit and opportunity.

In the broader context, Ridder and Barnes were also mentioned among cuts, highlighting the ongoing churn around rosters and depth charts. For fantasy, Simmons’ future hinges on finding a defense that can maximize multi-position versatility; if he lands in a role with clearly defined responsibilities, he could offer opportunistic tackle numbers and occasional splash plays, while a crowded depth chart could depress early upside.
