Stays with New York
The Giants re-signed Simmons to a one-year contract Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
In his first year with the team, Simmons recorded 50 tackles, including a sack, and an interception that he returned for a touchdown in 17 regular-season games. Now that he's been re-signed, the 2020 first-rounder -- who arrived in New York via a trade with Arizona last August -- will reprise his versatile role in the Giants defense, where his ability to play either safety or linebacker is an asset to the unit.

Running it back with Giants
Simmons, who was traded from the Cardinals to the Giants last August, will return to New York on a one-year deal for the 2024 season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Simmons was a solid addition when all was said and done in 2023, as he posted 50 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, a pick-six, two additional pass breakups and a forced fumble and fumble recovery. The 2020 first-round pick started only four out of 17 games, but his positional versatility is valued enough for the Giants to give him another year to prove his worth.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023

2021
2020
Drafted eighth overall in 2020, Simmons has always seemed like a premium athlete without a real position in the Cardinals' defense. He's been listed as a linebacker the last two seasons, averaging 102 tackles with 5.5 total sacks and three interceptions, but new coach Jonathan Gannon intends to try him at nickel corner and have him focus on playing in the secondary. What impact that has on his production is anyone's guess, but Simmons is capable of posting solid numbers in any role given his speed and explosiveness.
