The Buffalo Bills were named this week as the best fit for a Pro Bowl safety who is still available in free agency.
CBS Sports thinks free agent safety Justin Simmons, a Pro Bowler in 2020 and 2023, would be a perfect fit for the Bills.
From CBS Sports: Buffalo said goodbye to two aging safeties in Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde this year, but Simmons' production as a rangy, ball-hawking captain hasn't declined; his exit from the Denver Broncos was financially motivated. On a rebuild-your-market-type deal, he could fit in seamlessly as a captain for a contender.
Simmons, a third round selection by the Denver Broncos in the 2016 NFL Draft, will turn 31 this fall, but he's still producing at a high level.
The former Boston College standout is just one year removed from leading the NFL in interceptions (six in 2022). And he's coming off a season where he played 15 games while totaling 70 tackles and three interceptions.
Simmons still has plenty left in the tank. And the Bills have a need at safety. It's a fit that makes a lot of sense if Buffalo can make the money work with the team's current salary cap situation.
