Justin Simmons, the safety for the Atlanta Falcons, has expressed strong interest in reuniting with his former coach Vic Fangio, now part of the Philadelphia Eagles' coaching staff. Following the trade of C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans, the Eagles are looking for a replacement, and Simmons believes he fits the bill. Simmons mentioned that the Eagles are 'high on the list' for him, highlighting his past success under Fangio and a desire to contribute to a Super Bowl-caliber team.

In 2024, Simmons recorded 62 tackles and two interceptions, showcasing his enduring talent. While other teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Commanders are also appealing options for Simmons, his connection with Fangio and the Eagles' defensive coaching staff may provide the opportunity he seeks to enhance his career and help fill the void at safety left by Gardner-Johnson.
