Titans lock Simmons to $105.8M deal, $100M guaranteed
Tennessee’s defensive anchor gets paid like a Pro Bowler—and proves he’s the franchise’s next cornerstone.

8 million contract extension with defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, including $100 million fully guaranteed. The deal, announced by Simmons’ agents to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, vaults him into the elite tier of interior defenders and locks him in as the franchise’s defensive anchor through at least 2027. Simmons, 27, was drafted 19th overall by Tennessee in 2019 and has since started every game he’s played, missing only two contests over five seasons.
