On our list this offseason Top 100 Free Agentsonly four of the Top 50 are still available. That includes safety Justin Simmons, who was cut by the Broncos in March.

The report notes that the Broncos issued a lengthy statement thanking Simmons for his eight years in Denver, and that they have already given his No. 31 jersey to fifth-round cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine. Those are the actions of a team that has moved on, not a team that would like to bring back Simmons if he signs a team-friendly contract.
The 30-year-old Simmons probably still has some good football left in him, but where he will play it is anyone’s guess. It doesn’t appear to be in Denver.
