If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to add a veteran safety to ease the loss of Minkah Fitzpatrick, they have options. ESPN’s Matt Bowen unveiled a list of the top remaining free agents weeks before teams report to training camp, including the top safeties. Of the 17 names, three played safety.
Topping the group and No. 11 overall is Justin Simmons. Bowen noted he best fits in a “split-safety” defense, meaning one that utilizes two-high shells and predominantly plays Cover Two. A two-time Pro Bowler who enjoyed a long and successful career in Denver, Simmons spent 2024 with the Atlanta Falcons.
