In case you somehow missed it — the Denver Broncos released former All-Pro safety, Justin Simmons as the 2024 NFL league year kicked off, earlier this month.

While the 2024 NFL Draft is nearing, clubs are looking to fill out their roster with veterans whether it be via free agency or trade. One of the teams that could be a piece or two away from becoming Super Bowl champions, are the Philadelphia Eagles. With perhaps their biggest glaring need being secondary help, Nick Sirianni and co. would be wise to at the very least pick up the phone in hopes of procuring Justin Simmons’ services.

In PFF’s latest free agency projections, Simmons to the Eagles makes all the sense in the world.

“Simmons’ release from the Broncos may have been the biggest surprise of all notable players cut ahead of the offseason, even with the understanding that the safety market is routinely flooded with talent in free agency each offseason. Simmons’ 82.3 coverage grade over the past three seasons is a top-15 mark among safeties, his 14 interceptions lead the position and his 52 defensive stops are a top-30 mark.”

Philadelphia Eagles’ Up-and-Down 2023 Campaign

Following a season where they were a questionable pass interference call away from potentially winning Super Bowl 57, the Philadelphia Eagles were locked and loaded heading into 2023. A 10-1 start to their bounce-back campaign had everyone in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’ booking their Super Bowl 58 tickets…however, a 1-5 end to their regular season saw Nick Siranni and co. lose not just all of their momentum, but the NFC East divisional title. The Eagles downward spiral would continue in the NFC Wild Card Round as the team was dominated from start-to-finish to the .500 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the tune of a 32-9 score.
