Former Arizona Cardinals 1st-round pick Isaiah Simmons joins Packers

9 hours ago 12

The Arizona Cardinals traded Isaiah Simmons to the New York Giants before the 2023 season after he had played three seasons in the NFL after they made him the No. 8 overall pick in 2020.

He has a new time.

After two seasons with the Giants, Simmons signed a one-year deal to join the Green Bay Packers.

Simmons has not been the star he wanted to be. Playing for a bad Giants team, in 2024, he played in a career-low 181 defensive snaps. He played in all 17 games last season for Simons, logging 21 total tackles, two pass breakups and an interception.

We will see how the Packers view him. When he was drafted, he played inside linebacker. He was moved to safety in 2023 before he was traded. He went back to playing multiple positions for the Giants.

The Cardinals will face the Packers at home, so Simmons, assuming he makes the team, will have a revenge game at State Farm Stadium.
