The Denver Broncos made a significant move in their roster management by releasing star safety Justin Simmons, who became one of the top free agents on the market. This decision was driven by the team's need to address the substantial dead cap charges they are facing, particularly in anticipation of the release of quarterback Russell Wilson next week.
Simmons, a standout player who has been named a second-team All-Pro in four of his last five seasons, has been a key figure in the Broncos' defense. Known for his ball-hawking skills, Simmons has intercepted multiple passes in each of his eight years with the team, leading all NFL players with 30 picks since his rookie season in 2016.
