As NFL training camps heat up, an iconic name from Denver's past is making waves, and his message couldn’t be clearer: he wants to return to the team he called home for nearly a decade.
Justin Simmons, a stalwart of the Broncos' defense, made an emotional declaration, revealing his desire for one final shot in Denver. "Pay me less if you have to. Just let me finish what we started. I want one last shot at a Super Bowl in the only jersey that ever mattered to me," Simmons boldly stated.
“They let me go because I cost too much and had too many miles. But I’m not done,” the former Denver safety continued, expressing his deep love for the team and city. Fans remember him as a leader—his remarkable consistency, clutch plays, and fiery passion setting the bar for Broncos' defense.
During his eight seasons in Denver, Simmons earned 604 tackles, 30 interceptions, and four Second-team All-Pro honors. But his legacy wasn’t just built on stats. He became a team captain, a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee, and a true locker room leader. He wasn’t just about football—Simmons led with heart, dedicating time and resources to social justice and youth education through his foundation.
The Broncos, who’ve seen their secondary struggle for experience, may now have the opportunity to bring Simmons back into the fold. With his heart set on one last run, will the team answer his call, or will his return remain just a dream for fans across Colorado?
