LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Best fits for top remaining free agents after 2024 NFL Draft: Justin Simmons DEN • FS • #31 View Profile Best fit: New York Jets The Jets didn't address safety in the draft, thanks to filling out some holes on offense. With a deep safety class remaining in free agency, they could afford the luxury. In comes Simmons, who is coming off a season which he finished with 70 tackles, three interceptions and eight passes defended. Opposing quarterbacks targeting Simmons had just a 58.4 passer rating as he earned his third straight Second Team All-Pro selection. Simmons is a better option than Tony Adams or Chuck Clark at the moment -- and the Jets have been active in free agency. The price just needs to go down. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/best-fits-for-top-remaining-free-agents-after-2024-nfl-draft-ryan-tannehill-tyler-boyd-still-available/ 1. Justin Simmons, S Michael Owens/Getty Images Justin Simmons has garnered second-team All-Pro recognition four times in the last half-decade. That says enough about his talent. Unfortunately, it's also not that simple. Only so many franchises are willing to pay a high-priced safety. Although the 2024 cycle lacked superstars at the position, teams weren't rushing to sign Simmons while he counted against the compensatory pick formula. That no longer applies after the draft. In other words, Simmons' market should pick up swiftly now that the draft is over—depending on his price, of course. While the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks could use an upgrade at safety, the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots have more financial flexibility. Potential Landing Spots: New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10118495-10-best-nfl-free-agents-available-after-2024-draft Best Remaining Safety Free Agents, 2024: Justin Simmons Eddie Jackson Marcus Maye Micah Hyde Quandre Diggs Jamal Adams Tracy Walker Jayron Kearse Adrian Phillips Tashaun Gipson Kareem Jackson Will Harris Terrell Edmunds Keanu Neal Rudy Ford Ryan Neal Adrian Amos John Johnson -------- Jets have a trio of experience S in Adams, Davis and Clark. Behind them are Bernard-Converse and Keys. Simmons maybe too big of a splash. Jackson, Diggs and Maye can hopefully sign as reserves if they put their egos to the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I think we should. We should add someone like Chuck Clark. Bring him in on a cheap 1 year deal. He was an above average SS for several years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 LB room needs help and they are now in the market for a big DE that can set the edge on first down. depending on how JBC is deployed the S room is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RESNewYork Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Figure jets feel Jarrick BC is better than the day 3 safety who were available. Remember he was the high RAS player last year. Like Tyler Owens this year. (Got a huge udfa deal from Washington) Feela like Jets are happy to roll with the 5 on the roster. Rather they spend on veteran O and D line depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think we should pick up Jamal Adams on the cheap and make him carry Mr. Irrelevant’s equipment to and from practice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible. He still hasn’t learned how to use an automatic door so he needs at least one hand free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if they took more than 4 into the regular season. One of JBC or Keys will likely end up on the practice squad, if not both. I like the idea of a Vet safety. We need more help for the free safety role. As OP said though, price will probably determine whether we actually do this. The JFM trade didn't free quite as much cap as I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Jet Fan Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 We'll probably know soon just how aggressive the Jets plan to be in the post-draft wave of FA. They only have a few million in cap space after they sign their rookie class. They can free up a good amount of space by extending one or more of the following: DJ Reed Haason Redick Tyler Conklin I still think they need another WR, IOL depth and safety help. Schweitzer is our only IOL backup and he has injury issues. I like Corley but if Mike Williams goes down the only WR that I feel good about doing traditional WR stuff is GW. Safety is definitely the weakest of these areas but still don't believe the Jets will be shopping in the Justin Simmons price range. One under the radar signing may be Calais Campbell. He was still really good last year and can help fill that inside/outside versatility JFM provided. If he wants to sign for a slightly smaller amount than he did w/ the Falcons (1/7.5mm) I could see the Jets signing him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
