Justin Simmons retired from the NFL after nine seasons, with eight spent on the Denver Broncos. He announced his retirement ten years after being drafted. Simmons was a four-time All-Pro and played a significant role in the Broncos' secondary. He was initially behind T.J. Ward and Darian Stewart but became a key player, earning Pro Bowl recognition in 2020. The Broncos extended his contract in 2021, making it the highest for a safety at that time. Simmons did not play last season and concluded his career at age 32.
"Simmons ended his career as a four-time All-Pro and was among his era's best ballhawks. He enjoyed several quality seasons as the franchise transitioned from its Peyton Manning era."
"The Broncos gave Simmons a four-year, $61MM extension in March 2021. At the time, that represented the safety position's high-water mark."
"Simmons was tied to a $11.44MM salary in 2020, earning Pro Bowl recognition that year and was re-tagged by the Broncos in 2021."
