For the first time during John Elway’s tenure, the Denver Broncos failed to reach a long-term contract agreement with a player they franchise tagged. It’s not that they don’t want to sign Justin Simmons long-term, but rather the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 is likely the bigger culprit here.
Simmons met with the media last week for the first time since the July 15th deadline came and went. Throughout the entire interview, it was the final question that stuck out to me. He was asked how he could improve his game heading into this season.
