ISAIAH SIMMONS visiting the Packers today.

LB/Safety hybrid has had excellent games, and terrible...arguably good years and some not so good years. Massive upside value in sub-packages given his insane athleticism....would embrace it for a good deal. He just did 1 year for $2M...be a fun one to say let's do a two year $5M but only with like 1 or 1.5M guaranteed. He's still young, if he clicks excellent guy to have around.
Former 8th overall draft pick. An amazing athlete but not much of a football player. Worth a shot.

Correct, however EXCELLENT special teamer worst case and a diverse depth piece that truly in sub package and limited role play has seen some good times in his short career. Against teams that run a LOT of two TE set ups or have a dynamic TE that moves to the slot a lot he can cover very good!

Would be worth a gamble IMO...terrific player in college, exceptional athlete, and worst case scenario he's probably signing for at or close to vet minimum and a ST only role. Best-case scenario he lands in a situation where a DC is able to carve out a role that makes the most of his athleticism/traits and he is able to tap into some of the potential he was drafted for (#8 in 2020)

Definitely a high-upside signing and if nothing else we are somewhat thin at LB relatively speaking....We have what, 5 on the roster right now? Probably won't carry many more than that into the regular season but will need more bodies for camp and etc...maybe able to carve out a role in the in-between

We essentially have Quay, Cooper, McDuffie and Hopper as main four...if we signed Simmons I would officially come off my plans of drafting another UNLESS again the team knows they're not working with Quay for a future deal.

Sounds like yet another Giant who could benefit greatly by getting the hell out of NYC.

One thing I’ve learned about Jeff Hafley is he’s very adept at finding player strengths and giving them some leash to use their strengths
So he reminds me of a Turbo version of Oren Burks. I forgot he went #8 overall in 2020, so he’s very physically gifted.
Possibly the perceived replacement for Eric Wilson? Dividing up between Teams and rotational ILB

We Resigned TE John Fitzpatrick
Nice. Well all I could think of is..
You know what they say about those 2 lovers, Gerald and Patrick? Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick. It’s never a bit too late to celebrate me St Patrick’s everyone!

8th overall pick in the 2020 draft, now just hoping to make an NFL roster.

Might be good enough for special teams and to add some depth.

Agree. IMO they would not have brought him in without Xavier's blessing since they are former teammates.

At worst, Simmons would be a good addition to the special teams. In the event that Hopper goes nowhere, Simmons could be valuable depth at LB #4. Given that he's going to be cheap and still young, I see no good reason not to sign him.
