The Tennessee Titans have reached an agreement with star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons on a historic contract extension, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The deal is reportedly a four-year extension worth $94 million, featuring $60 million in guaranteed money. The agreement rewards Simmons, whom the team considers the "face of the franchise," after several seasons of dominant play on the interior of the defensive line.
Since being selected by the Titans in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Simmons has developed into one of the league's premier defensive players. He has earned two Pro Bowl selections and has been a cornerstone of the team's defensive unit. The extension ensures that the 25-year-old tackle will remain in Nashville through the prime of his career.
The Titans' front office had made securing Simmons a priority this offseason. By finalizing the deal now, the team solidifies its defensive core before the start of the next campaign.
