Former Denver Broncos free safety Justin Simmons is announcing his retirement Wednesday after nine seasons.

The two-time Pro Bowl selection played for Denver from 2016-23 and spent 2024 with the Atlanta Falcons before sitting out the 2025 season.

The Broncos planned a press conference with Simmons, 32, at noon local time Wednesday in Englewood, Colo.

Simmons recorded 32 interceptions — at least two picks in every season — with 71 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 4.5 sacks and 666 tackles in 134 games (124 starts).

He shared the NFL lead with a career-high six interceptions in 2022 and returned an interception for a 65-yard touchdown in Denver’s Week 13 game at Miami in 2017. He is tied for seventh in Broncos history with 30 career interceptions.
