The Tennessee Titans and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons agree to a three-year, $105.8 million contract extension, reports say. NFL Network reports the deal makes Simmons the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history. Multiple outlets frame the agreement as a market-setting contract for the position.
CBS Sports adds that Simmons was drafted by the Titans in the first round in 2019. The Athletic reports performance details from the most recent season, listing 11 sacks, 17 tackles for loss, 21 quarterback hits, and three forced fumbles in 2025. Several other reports echo the record-setting and extension terms, without adding additional contractual breakdowns.
Overall, sources agree the Titans re-sign Simmons through the reported three-year extension at $105.8 million and that the agreement positions him at the top of the defensive tackle market historically. The reports also consistently describe Simmons as an All-Pro-caliber player and a core part of the Titans’ defense.
