Justin Simmons, the top safety left on the open market, appears to want that, at least.

Former Bengals wideout Chad Johnson recently threw a recruiting pitch of sorts at Simmons on social media, writing the following after the veteran safety seemed positive about it: "Dear @Bengals I did my part, you can take it from here."

Johnson is just having fun on social media, sure. But back in April, Simmons said he wanted to team up with Joe Burrow .
Since, the Bengals watched as nobody stepped up with Geno Stone hurt over the last few weeks. Daijahn Anthony will start the season on injured reserve and isn't a lock to return when healthy. For now, PJ Jules made the final 53.

Safety continues to look like one of the biggest weak points on the Bengals' roster for Week 1. Simmons is 31 and would need some time to get adjusted to his new surroundings, but he might be an immediate upgrade to the depth if the team wants to spend and make it happen.
