Broncos safety Justin Simmons signed his franchise tender on Tuesday, according to a league source.
If Simmons and the Broncos don’t reach agreement on a long-term contract by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, he will be paid $11.441 million this year.
The team’s leader with four interceptions last year, Simmons told the Broncos last week he intended to sign the tender, which means he will report to training camp, tentatively scheduled for later this month.
A second-team All Pro in 2019, Simmons will be eligible for free agency in March 2021 if the Broncos don’t tag him again.
