He definitely took a step back last year despite the accolades. It's possible he just had an offyear and will be great for you guys, but ya...he kinda became this gamble type player hunting for interceptions and getting beat a lot of times. Still a pretty good tackler though. I doubt you will be disappointed if you got him for a good price As another Broncos fan, I disagree with that assessment. Was he a top 5 safety like he was in his prime? No. But he's still close to that still playing closer to a top 10 safety. As great of a duo Bates and Simmons seem on paper, I do wonder how they'll compliment each other. They're both have the same strengths and are ideally high safeties. Not to say Simmons isn't good in run support but its not what he is known for unlike a Derwin James or Jamal Adams type.

m haynes Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Just think the idiot Pats gave Dugger 14 million !!!!!!! While not even looking at the horrible O line. 14M for a in box safety with average covers skills. They say he was a leader .... of what, one of the worse team in the NFL ??? Pepper the better player gets 8M. Fredo Kraft flunked Jerry Jones class .... owner thinks he knows football 101. Now the Simmons signing Pats Like the owner the new light house not doing its job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 And no other team in the NFL would sign Justin Simmons to 1 year $9 mil. Even with 1 year, only $8 mil for one of the best players in the NFL at his position. Total steal, nuts he was still unsigned. They get Simmons for one year $8 mil and Judon for one year $6.5 mil, absolute steals and it is crazy no other team offered so little for either guy. Sure Judon one had to give up a 3rd rounder but if Judon is healthy that is nothing for a player that talented... Micah Hyde and Jayron Kearse are also still unsigned safeties.

Ozzy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 8 hours ago, AFlaccoSeagulls said: I'd put Baltimore over them slightly but yeah their defense is making some fantastic additions. Kyle Hamilton is better than either safeties on Atlanta but Marcus Williams is nothing compared to Simmons or Bates. Maybe if Eddie Jackson is some star for Baltimore but not sure that is in the cards for him anymore. Simmons and Bates is better combo than Hamilton and Williams if they can stay healthy. Without the pass rusher Atlanta would have struggled big time on D but now with Judon and Simmons, they will be the favorites to win that division. Sadly for them Detroit, Green Bay, Philadelphia, Rams and the 49ers are still all probably better than them in terms of top to bottom roster. Also they all have far better QBs than Cousins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I give the Falcons credit. In a weak division, signing both Judon and Simmons "while" Drafting Penix just in case Cousins pulls a JJ McCarthy? Looks to be the right decisions!!! Good for them! 🥃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 So why did they wait all off-season to make this move, as well as Judon? Are things that disjointed down there, along with the whole Cousins/Penix decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're looking at this , backwards. These additions make the Penix pick even smarter. Kirk is by no means guaranteed to complete the 2024 season. Without a viable QB replacement if injury did occur? They are ironically last years Vikings, going absolutely nowhere.

Both teams have one elite guy and one guy who could be really good if he stays healthy. Hamilton is better than Bates, and Williams and Simmons are practically a wash.
