NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The pillar of the Tennessee Titans defense is staying in Nashville.
The Titans announced they have come to terms on a long term contract extension for defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons.
Simmons has been a defensive leader for the team since he was drafted in 2019.
Simmons has racked up 21 sacks and 196 tackles during his four-year career.
The signing of Simmons will be a relief to new Titans General Manager Ran Carthon.
Simmons was only under contract for this upcoming season and could've tested the waters of free agency.
