It has been reported that the Denver Broncos are interested in trading free safety Justin Simmons. The Dallas Cowboys have offered the best package for Simmons.
Dallas has offered a deal that consists of a 2021 second-round pick and also a 2022 fourth-round pick. The Cowboys need to be careful with this trade because Simmons is playing on the Franchise Tag and will be looking to sign a big deal. This could cause financial troubles for the Dallas Cowboys.
NFL Trade Rumors: How does Justin Simmons help the Dallas Cowboys?
Justin Simmons would give the Dallas Cowboys a major boost on the back end of their defense. Simmons’ success in 2019 led him to a second-team-all-pro-selection. Justin Simmons also gives the Cowboys defense a top-5 safety in the NFL.
The Dallas Cowboys would also be receiving a safety that has great range. Simmons also has great athleticism and toughness. He also reads opposing quarterbacks well and uses that to make plays on the football. The 26-year-old safety has 13 career interceptions.
This season Justin Simmons has 38 solo tackles, 2 interceptions, and 3 pass deflections for the Broncos. If the Cowboys can execute this trade before the deadline they would be getting a boost in their secondary. The Dallas Cowboys would definitely win this trade if they only have to give up two future draft picks.
NFL Trade Rumors: Is Justin Simmons a short-term or long-term player for the Dallas Cowboys?
If the Dallas Cowboys do execute this trade, they will be getting a player that is already playing on the Franchise Tag. This means that the Dallas Cowboys will have to sign Justin Simmons in the off-season. If they cannot sign him then they’re out of a key piece to their defense and two draft picks.
Jerry Jones is a smart business man and most likely has a trick up his sleeve. The Dallas Cowboys wouldn’t pursue this trade without inside information. The inside information would have to be that Simmons would be willing to negotiate a long-term deal with the Cowboys.
Justin Simmons will be a long-term fix for the Dallas Cowboys defense. Jerry Jones would not take a risk on trading for a player that wants to be a free agent. Dallas must work quickly because time is running out, but from what has been said we could see Simmons in a Dallas Cowboys jersey by the end of the day.
