The start of the 2024 NFL league year isn’t until next Wednesday, and by the time we get there, the safety street free agent will be extensively flooded as that position group grew by one more big name Thursday morning.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Broncos are releasing former All-Pro safety Justin Simmons after eight seasons in Denver. Simmons, who went to the Pro Bowl last season, was set to earn $14.5 million in 2024, the final year of his current contract. Simmons, 30, has played in 118 regular season games since being selected in the third round (98th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Boston College.
