"I would LOVE this," a fan wrote.
"He’ll be a fun tool to develop whenever he goes. Really liked him out the draft," a fan added.

"Oh I like this. I think he would fit perfect in the Jeff Hafley defense," a fan wrote.
"A former top-10 pick, Simmons' career hasn’t lived up to expectations, but he could still provide value as a depth piece and special teams contributor," a fan added.

Simmons spent his first three years with the Arizona Cardinals before playing the last two with the New York Giants. Last season, he recorded 21 tackles, one forced fumble, and two pass defenses.

“I think for me, the thing that’s been on my mind as we concluded this season is we need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,” Gutekunst said, via SI. “These opportunities don’t come [every year and] the life of a player in the National Football League is not very long.

“We’ve got a bunch of good guys in that locker room, we’ve got a bunch of talented guys in that locker room, and I think it’s time that we started competing for championships, right? I think they’re ready," Gutekunst added.

The Packers will also have a chance to add key players to their team in the NFL Draft. Green Bay will have the 23rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
