The Tennessee Titans secured defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to a three‑year extension worth $105.8 million, with $100 million guaranteed. General Manager Mike Borgonzi praised Simmons as a franchise pillar, noting his leadership on and off the field. The deal cements the player who led the NFL interior linemen in sacks and tackles last season.

Last season Simmons posted a career‑high 11 sacks, breaking the Titans’ franchise record set by Jurrell Casey. He also topped the league in solo tackles, tackles for loss, sack yards, quarterback pressures, and forced fumbles. Named first‑team All‑Pro and a fourth‑time Pro Bowler, Simmons remains the league’s premier interior defender for the Titans’ 2026 title push and defensive dominance everywhere.

Simmons, a 2019 first‑round pick, has started 97 of 99 games, racking up 383 tackles and 42.5 sacks. A five‑time captain and three‑time Walter Payton Man of the Year, he credits the Titans’ faith and community support. The extension guarantees his presence as the team pushes for championship contention while solidifying their defensive core and securing a playoff berth ahead.
