2025 Projections
Signed a contract with the Packers in August of 2025.
Signs with Green Bay
Simpson signed with the Packers on Monday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The safety had a tryout with Green Bay on Wednesday. Simpson, who was previously dealing with a hamstring injury, was waived from injured reserve with a settlement by the Jets in early August before trying out for the Texans less than a week later. A 2024 fifth-round pick of the Colts, Simpson did not see action last season, though he may now get a chance to compete for a depth and special-teams role with the Packers.

Simpson, a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, will move to cornerback after playing safety at Auburn. Simpson's 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 39.5-inch vertical will definitely play at corner, and the same is true of his outstanding reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms). Perhaps Simpson is a bit of a project for the Colts, but these are raw materials that can clearly refine into something useful with a little luck. He'll compete for a backup corner role in training camp and it wouldn't be surprising to see him play safety or a hybrid role as well.
