Justin Simmons Holding Out for Contender

0:00On March 28th, former Denver Broncos safety, Justin Simmons sat out the entire 2025 season, sparking talk that his NFL days were done. But he set the record straight teams did reach out. He just turned them down because they weren't the right fit. On a recent episode of the Weekly Cut podcast, Simmons explained he's holding out for a true contender. With his family rooted in Colorado, he doesn't want to uproot them for anything less. After one year with Atlanta Falcons, he chose to wait, and that perfect chance never showed up last year. Broncos fans are buzzing about a reunion, but it's a long shot. The team kicks off strong, sometimes then fades, and Simmons has zero playoff games in nine seasons. Plus, Denver's locked in at safety with Talonoa Huffanga and Brandon Jones, no room for him as a backup. Now 32 and a two-time pro-bolaer, Simmons says he'll lace up for a tense season if the call comes from a winner. He might have to tweak his expectations, though, or hang it up for good.
