Justin Simmons Reveals Reason for Broncos Exit

0:00On April 7th, former Denver Broncos safety, Justin Simmons just dropped the real reason he got cut before the 2024 season. Straight up, he called it a cap casualty in a recent interview. At the time, he was due $18,250,000 for that year. The move saved the Broncos $14,500,000 while sticking them with a $3,750,000 dead cap hit. Simmons was the team's longest tenured player when they let him go. Right after, he inked a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons to keep playing. Fans in Denver always showed him love during his time there, and the organization respected his game too. But for Simmons, loyalty only goes so far. He needs to join a legit contender now, something the Broncos just weren't offering back then. Lately, he's been clear about wanting back on the field, but only of those conditions line up for 2026 after sitting out last fall. Team chasing a ring might still make that call. Word is, his skills could light up any locker room ready to win now, keeping that Broncos legacy alive wherever he lands.
