Justin Simmons expressed a desire to stay with the Atlanta Falcons, but after a one-year stint, he is realistic about his free agency prospects. Despite showing promise as a starter last season, competing in 2025 playoffs is a priority for him, as he seeks more than just a contract. With the Falcons securing Jessie Bates and potentially leaning on their younger players, Simmons might have to find a new team. He remains optimistic about landing in a strong situation for the next season's opportunities.
It was a one-year thing. They like kind of their younger guys, too. Sometimes things just don't work out...I don't know if the door's necessarily closed.
Considering the fact Atlanta allowed him to test free agency and has not made a known effort to re-sign him, a contract with a third career team will be likely.
Competing for a first-team gig may not be feasible depending on where he lands, but the former interceptions leader will aim to land a deal with a team eyeing a deep playoff run in 2025.
