Broncos release Pro Bowl defensive player

Another significant veteran has moved on for the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos cut former All-Pro safety Justin Simmons on Thursday. In a video montage, the team expressed gratitude to Simmons for

his eight Denver seasons.

The Broncos will avoid paying the salary cap in 2024 by $14.5 million thanks to this decision. In the upcoming weeks, Denver will

probably cut ties with more expensive veterans since, with Russell Wilson’s departure, they now owe an unprecedented amount of

dead money.

Last season, Simmons, 30, was selected to his second Pro Bowl team. Throughout his career, the former third-round selection has

been selected four times to the Second team All-Pro. Most people consider him to be among the top safeties in football. Since

Simmons attracted considerable trade interest the previous season, he ought to have no trouble locating a new team.In 2023,

Simmons totaled 70 tackles, 3 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 sack. Over his career, he has racked up 30 interceptions, and in

each of his last six seasons, he has had at least three picks.Last season, 30-year-old Simmons was selected to his second Pro Bowl

squad. Over his career, the former third-round pick has received four selections to the Second team All-Pro. He is considered by many

to be among the top safeties in football. It should be easy for Simmons to find a new home because he generated some trade interest

the previous season.
