NASHVILLE \u2013 Big Jeff is getting rewarded with a big contract.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Titans and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons reached a deal on a multi-year contract extension.<\/p>\n
The deal keeps the team’s best defensive player, and one of the franchise’s most involved members of the community, with the team for many years to come.<\/p>\n
“Tennessee has become a second home for me,” Simmons said. “From day one, this organization believed in me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue to pour into this franchise and community. I want to thank God, my family, my teammates, Ms. Amy and the entire Titans organization for believing in me. My job isn’t finished. I believe in this locker room and this staff, and I’m focused on helping this team get back to competing for championships.”<\/p>\n
A four-time Pro Bowl selection, a five-time captain, and a three-time Community Man of the Year winner for the Titans, Simmons recorded a career-high 11 sacks in 2025, when he also recorded 60 quarterback pressures, 67 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss and three forced fumbles.<\/p>\n
“Jeffery Simmons is a pillar for our franchise and embodies what it means to be a Titan. He’s the premier defensive tackle in the National Football League and you win with players like Jeffery,” Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi said. “Not only is his leadership on the field what we want our program to represent, but off the field, he sets the standard for our community. I’d like to thank Todd France and AJ Stevens with Athletes First for their communication and efforts to get this deal done. I’d also like to thank Vin Marino, Leland Taylor and Dave Gardi for spearheading negotiations that resulted in a win for everyone. This wouldn’t be possible without the support of Amy and the Adams family. You always want to keep your best players and we accomplished that today. We’re excited for Jeffery to be here in Nashville for the long haul.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NASHVILLE \u2013 Big Jeff is getting rewarded with a big contract.
