Jeffery Simmons Becomes Highest Paid DT
Description
Jeffery Simmons just shattered the record as the highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL, locking himself into a massive multiyear deal with the Titans that averages $35.3M annually and guarantees $100M — extending his stay in Nashville through 2030. Already a cornerstone since being drafted in 2019, Simmons delivered a career-high 11 sacks last season and dominated when double-teamed, leading the league in pressure rate among tackles. His leadership, three Walter Payton Man of the Year nominations, and rare five-season streak of at least five sacks cement his status as a franchise pillar. This extension is a major piece of the Titans’ rebuild, ensuring their top talent stays put as they chase championships.
