The Denver Broncos are officially cleaning house after Adam Schefter broke the news this morning that they are planning to release safety Justin Simmons. The eight-year veteran was a key leader on Denver’s defense and the face of the franchise for the past several seasons.
In a statement released by the Broncos on Thursday, the team extended their thanks to Simmons and his family.
Justin Simmons’ impact as a Denver Bronco extends far beyond his exceptional play during eight seasons with our organization. In addition to growing into an All-Pro and team captain, Justin became our perennial Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year devoted to uplifting others and using his influence for positive change.
