the Broncos front office has been a hot mess over the last several years. This move was just dumb. He will be a massively overpaid safety for 1 year while the team sucks. Makes no sense.
Well, we weren't going to end up with him anyway. It was always more likely to be someone like Kazee or Neal.
France's advice worked out so well for Dak and Dupree...now Simmons is getting tagged again. Should be pretty obvious why this gets held up.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're hoping someone bites and gives up two 1st rounders. Not gonna happen, but maybe worth a try in a year not too deep with safeties in the draft. I'd be shocked if it was an exclusive tag.
