"Simpson, 28, who signed a two-year, $12 million contract in 2024, provided the Jets with a veteran presence at left guard. He started every game over two seasons, extending his consecutive starts streak to 51. His issue was penalties. In 2025, Simpson racked up 11 penalties for 106 yards -- the most penalty yardage for any offensive lineman in the league."
"As a blocker, Simpson (6-foot-4, 330 pounds) didn't excel in any one area. He ranked 12th out of 17 left guards in pressure percentage allowed (7.8%), per Next Gen Stats. A 2020 fourth-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, Simpson lost his starting job during the 2022 season and was released."
John Simpson, a 28-year-old offensive guard, has agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, marking his return to the team after departing two years ago. Simpson previously signed with the New York Jets in 2024 on a two-year, $12 million deal, where he started every game and extended his consecutive starts streak to 51. However, his tenure with the Jets was marked by significant penalty issues, accumulating 11 penalties for 106 yards in 2025—the most penalty yardage among all offensive linemen in the league. As a blocker, Simpson ranked 12th out of 17 left guards in pressure percentage allowed at 7.8%. Originally a 2020 fourth-round pick by Las Vegas, Simpson has played 86 career games with 72 starts.
