If Simmons hasn't signed yet, there's something obvious on the tape, the medicals aren't checking out or he's asking WAY more than he's worth.
If someone gave him 1/$12 million right now (probably disguised as a 2 year deal) I'm betting he'd take it. Sun's getting awfully low in the sky for him to not have a team yet.
If I'm a betting man, it's a little of A and a little of B. He's starting to age a little and probably played like a top 40 S instead of a top 5 safety last season. And he's wanting to be paid like, say, a top 10 safety.
And that disconnect isn't likely to clear up any time soon.
Guy's made $60 million in his career. If he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to. And if you don't come offering him $10+ million, he's probably just gonna stay home.
I'm not terribly interested in that.
