Isaiah Simmons, the former 8th overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, has signed a one-year deal with the Green Bay Packers after two seasons with the New York Giants. Simmons, who has struggled to reach his potential, played a career-low 181 defensive snaps last season, recording just 21 tackles, two pass breakups, and one interception. His move to the Packers adds a strategic layer as he prepares for a potential 'revenge game' against his former team, the Cardinals, later this season.

Simmons originally played inside linebacker but was shifted to safety with the Giants before returning to multiple positions. The Packers' coaching staff will likely utilize his versatility, which could unlock new opportunities for him. The upcoming match against the Cardinals, held at State Farm Stadium, will be particularly significant for Simmons, offering him a chance to prove himself in front of his former team.
