Since he was taken in the third round of the NFL draft in 2016, Simmons, who is now 30 years old, has been a mainstay of the Broncos’ strong defenses. This had been the case ever since he graduated from Boston College and was selected by the Broncos. His thirty interceptions since that date make him the player with the most interceptions of any player during that time period.
“Justin Simmons’ impact as a Denver Bronco extends far beyond his exceptional play during eight seasons with our organization,” the Broncos said in a statement. “Justin Simmons has been an enormous asset to our team.” “Justin Simmons has been an enormous asset to our team.”
As a result of his commitment to uplifting others and utilizing his power for positive change, Justin was selected as our annual Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. In addition to being selected for All-Pro and becoming the captain of the squad, he also became the captain of our team.

After making the statement that they would be releasing quarterback Russell Wilson on Wednesday, just a few days after the start of the new league year, the Broncos have now released Simmons, which comes three days after the announcement was made. If the organization decides to get rid of Wilson, it will result in a record-breaking dead cap charge of $85 million; however, the team has the opportunity to stretch out the cost over a period of two years.
Simmons is a member of the group of free-agent safety players that also includes Xavier McKinney, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and Kamren Curl, amongst other players. This organization has recently welcomed Simmons as a new member.
