Justin Simmons, the All-Pro safety, remains a noteworthy free agent as the 2025 NFL free agency progresses. Following his release from the Denver Broncos in 2024, Simmons played for the Atlanta Falcons on a one-year, $8 million contract, showcasing his strong defensive skills with 62 tackles and two interceptions last season. The 31-year-old is now looking for the right fit and is open to offers from teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a pressing need for a seasoned safety following key trades in their secondary.
Despite the crowded safety market and his age, Simmons is considered a valuable asset due to his track record, leading the NFL with 30 interceptions since 2016. His ideal destination would be a contender where he can build rapport with teammates during training camp, a factor he acknowledges as crucial for success. The Eagles, with their cap space, are in a strong position to make a competitive offer, while the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders are also potential suitors, albeit with varying degrees of financial maneuvering required.
