Justin Simmons, the former Denver Broncos safety, remains an unsigned free agent, raising eyebrows within the NFL community. Having spent eight seasons with the Broncos, Simmons transitioned to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024 but only landed his deal in mid-August. With impressive stats including 75.5 tackles and 3.75 interceptions during his Broncos tenure, interest in Simmons is expected to be high. In 2024, he registered 62 tackles and 7 passes defended with the Falcons, showcasing his ongoing impact.

Potential landing spots for Simmons include teams with connections to his former Broncos coach Vic Fangio. The Carolina Panthers, with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, or the San Francisco 49ers, under Robert Saleh, offer appealing options. However, a reunion with Fangio at the Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a Super Bowl victory, seems particularly promising. Lastly, the Las Vegas Raiders could also be in the mix, given their new coaching staff's familiarity with Simmons from their Denver days.
