The Green Bay Packers are likely hoping that bringing Isaiah Simmons is a low-risk, high-reward type of signing this 2025 NFL season. Moreover, Simmons probably wants to find a home after being a top 10 NFL draft pick in 2020 by the Arizona Cardinals.
Arizona had high hopes for Simmons when they drafted him eighth overall, but after three years in the desert, the Cardinals declined the fifth-year option of Simmons’ contract.
In 2023, Simmons was traded to the New York Giants for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The linebacker would play two years in the Big Apple, but this past season, he was again on the move, signing with the Packers as a free agent.
