Mon Apr 28 22:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Packers Sign Former First-Round Pick Isaiah Simmons

**Green Bay, WI** – The Green Bay Packers are bolstering their linebacker corps with the signing of Isaiah Simmons, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Simmons, a former first-round pick (No. 8 overall in 2019) by the Arizona Cardinals, recently visited Green Bay, indicating strong interest from the team. The 26-year-old linebacker, a standout at Clemson University where he won the Butkus Award, spent the 2023 season with the New York Giants after being traded from Arizona.

In his lone season with the Giants, Simmons appeared in all 17 games, starting one, and recorded 21 tackles and one forced fumble. He entered free agency after the Cardinals declined his fifth-year option. While he had the option to remain in New York, he ultimately chose to sign with Green Bay.

The addition of Simmons provides the Packers with a versatile and experienced linebacker who brings significant draft pedigree to their roster. Further details regarding the contract are expected to be released soon.
