In this story:

The New Orleans Saints will host free agent safety Justin Simmons on Wednesday, a source told Saints News Network.

Simmons, who turns 31 in November, is one of the top free agents left on the market right now. For some, he was one of the highest going into free agency after being released by the Broncos. Simmons brings a good bit of qualities to the table, like leadership, playmaking and plenty of tenure.

There are clear ties to this coaching staff, mainly Joe Woods and Marcus Robertson. I noted that Robertson had a nice chat with him at the HBCU Legacy Bowl in New Orleans. We've also talked extensively on Second And Saints about this being a real possibility for months.

This would be a huge signing for the Saints if they land him and would solidify their secondary. We'll see how the visit goes, but this also shows New Orleans is making a big push to be a legitimate contender in 2024.
