It seemed like it would be a good pickup. What happened?

Last I heard he visited New Orleans and the Fudge Packers were interested. If healthy, I think that he'd be a great addition.

I didn't hear anything about Simmons visiting us or even talking to us

I can't find any links, because it was a while back, but I do remember reading it in more than one article.

There are several linebackers who are playing the waiting game. Ed Hartwell, Anthony Simons, Will Witherspoon, and Mark Fields are all sitting on offers. The Panthers are waiting until two weeks from now when Fields has his test to see how his battle with cancer is progressing. Then, we hope, he will have a clean bill of health, and Carolina will reportedly offer him a three year contract. I would love to have Fields, but right now, let's hope he gets a clean bill of health.

I hadn't heard any rumors about us being interested in Simmons, but I've been hoping we'd at least bring him in for a look. He could be a very solid addition to our LB corps. But like everybody has said, can he stay healthy? And how much coin will he demand?
