"Broncos Cut All-Pro Safety Justin Simmons, Clearing Cap Space for Rebuilding Efforts"
The Denver Broncos are reportedly releasing All-Pro safety Justin Simmons in a cap-saving move, as they aim to get under the cap before free agency begins next week. Simmons, who spent eight seasons with the franchise, had a cap hit of $18.25 million, and the move will reportedly save the Broncos $14.5 million while incurring a dead money hit of $3.75 million. Despite playing in 118 games for Denver, Simmons has yet to appear in a postseason game and leaves the team with impressive career stats as a two-time Pro Bowler and four-time Second-team All-Pro.
