Isaiah Simmons is heading into the final year of his contract after the Arizona Cardinals didn't pick up their team option on the 2020 first-round pick for the 2024 season.

After seeing time as a linebacker and nickelback over the last three seasons, Simmons has been playing a deeper safety position during training camp and he said this week that he feels he is in the best spot to show off his abilities.

"There were just certain circumstances that led to me playing certain positions last year as opposed to maybe doing what was best for me. Now doing what's best for me is actually best for the team, so I think now why it looks like I feel a little more free, more like myself in my game," Simmons said.
