Justin Simmons Signing With Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are signing free-agent safety Justin Simmons to a one-year deal. It has been a wild 24 hours for the Falcons. They traded for frustrated pass-rusher Matthew Judon from the New England Patriots. Now, they make another upgrade on defense by adding two-time Pro Bowler Simmons into the mix. It'll be a one-year deal worth $8 million, so a low-risk move for Atlanta. He's coming off a season where he recorded 70 tackles, eight pass defended and three interceptions in 15 games with the Denver Broncos. Simmons will be an immediate upgrade to the quickly improving Falcons defense.
