ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are releasing safety Justin Simmons in the fallout from the Russell Wilson separation, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team didn't immediately announce the move.
Simmons immediately becomes one of the best veterans available when free agency begins next week.
A second-team All-Pro in four of his last five seasons, Simmons intercepted multiple passes in each of his eight years in Denver and his 30 picks lead all NFL players since his rookie season in 2016, when the Broncos selected him in the third round out of Boston College.
