Ahead of Saturday’s deadline for NFL teams to trim their rosters down to 53 players, the Bills cut quarterback Matt Simms, who is the son of former NFL player Phil Simms. The younger Simms went undrafted out of Tennessee in 2012 and had spent the previous three seasons with the Jets.
While it would appear having Phil Simms as your father would be a good thing in terms of landing a job in the NFL, it appears to be working against Matt. Atleast, that’s what his older brother Chris thinks.
Chris Simms was recently on WFAN in New York and brought up the subject as not being as favorable as you might think, due to his father’s role as an analyst for CBS Sports.
