The all pro defensive lineman is staying in Nashville, Tennessee Titans superstar Jeffery Simmons has re-signed with the Titans on a four year $94 million dollar extension with $66 million fully guaranteed and $24 million at signing. With the Titans shopping players left and right this offseason it’s to a somewhat surprise that the Titans superstar is staying with the organization.
Simmons has been the last few seasons with the Titans on a very cheap rookie contract as he was selected number nineteen overall by Tennessee in the 2019 draft, Simmons slipped to the nineteenth pick as he tore his ACL training for the NFL draft, Simmons was originally supposed to be a top ten pick but with the significant injury this led the Titans to be able to snag the all pro defensive end later in the draft.
With the new contract Simmons will now rank second in defensive tackles at $23.5 million per year only behind multi time defensive player of the year Aaron Donald. In the past two seasons Simmons has racked up 16 sacks, 30 quarterback hits, 67 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 13 passes defended and 115 total pressures, per PFF.
Simmons has been the anchor of this great defense for the last couple years in Tennessee and will be under contract for the next half decade.
