Episode Details

Jeffery Simmons just signed a jaw-dropping three-year, $100M extension with the Titans, making him the highest-paid DT in NFL history — and it’s not just a splashy number, it’s a market reset. Meanwhile, the Bengals locked down Dexter Lawrence for a fraction of the cost — averaging just over $23M annually — saving over $12M per year compared to Simmons’ deal. With their offense already loaded, that money freed up is pure roster flexibility. Lawrence’s elite play and the Bengals’ timing made this a masterstroke — proving elite DTs are rare, expensive, and worth every penny when you get them right.
