Broncos Release Justin Simmons

9 months ago

The Denver Broncos are releasing All-Pro safety Justin Simmons ahead of free agency. The move is one of the big surprises of the offseason thus far, but the organization has significant cap issues. His release will save the team $14.5 million on the cap. Originally a third-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Simmons has been named to two Pro Bowl rosters and four All-Pro teams. Since entering the league, his 30 interceptions lead all players. Now, he's set to become a free agent in a loaded safety class that includes Kevin Byard, Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, Jordan Poyer, and more.
