This move was kind of a surprise as Simmons has been one of the better players on the Bengals’ defense during his career.  Simmons played in 11 games last season for the Bengals and he made 60 tackles, had 2 interceptions, defensed 2 passes, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble.  For his career, Simmons has played in 121 games (all for the Bengals) and he has made 722 tackles, 23 sacks, has 11 interceptions (2 returned for TDs), defensed 29 passes, forced 13 fumbles and recovered 8 fumbles.  Simmons will be missed by his teammates.
