The NFL world is on high alert as one of Denver’s most beloved defensive stars makes a bold statement: he’s ready to come back and finish what he started. As training camps heat up, the whispers of a potential homecoming are only getting louder.
For nearly a decade, Justin Simmons defined what it meant to be a leader in Denver’s defense. His impact on the field was undeniable—game-changing interceptions, game-winning tackles, and an unforgettable presence in the locker room. Now, fans are asking: could he be back to give it one last shot at glory?
“They let me go because I cost too much and had too many miles. But I’m not done,” Simmons said, delivering an unfiltered message. “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.”
With 604 tackles, 30 interceptions, and four Second-team All-Pro honors over his eight seasons with the Broncos, Simmons was more than a player—he was a symbol of leadership. His legacy includes clutch performances, like that iconic blocked extra point against the Saints, and crucial interceptions that defined his career. He even snatched a game-winning pick against Patrick Mahomes to break Denver’s brutal losing streak.
But it wasn’t just his on-field presence. Simmons made his mark in the Denver community, too. Through his foundation, he fought for social justice, youth education, and served as a role model beyond football.
After a brief stint in Atlanta, Simmons is a free agent and open to offers—but he’s clear about where his heart lies. While other teams may be interested, it’s his loyalty to the Broncos and desire for one more championship run in Denver that makes him stand out.
With Denver’s defense in need of experience and leadership, the pressure’s on the Broncos to make a decision. Will they welcome Simmons back, or will his legendary career end with a missed opportunity for both him and the city of Denver?
