Jeffery Simmons Fantasy

Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons (ankle) had his ankle "cleaned up" in the offseason but said he feels fine now. Simmons' ankle injury caused him to miss two games last year, but he should be good to go for training camp this summer and the start of the 2023 season after signing a four-year, $94 million contract extension this offseason. The 25-year-old former first-round pick (19th overall) in 2019 has been an All-Pro the last two seasons and finished with 54 tackles (25 solo), 7.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, seven passes defensed and one forced fumble in 15 starts for the Titans last year. He has 16 sacks for Tennessee the last two years and will remain a key part of their defensive line in 2023.

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons has signed a new contract with the organization. The two sides have agreed on a four-year, $94 million extension. Simmons was set to play out his fifth-year option before heading to free agency next offseason. Obviously, the Titans didn't want that to happen as they lock up their former first round pick through the 2027 season. Simmons has earned back-to-back Pro Bowl selections and is a force on the d-line. Last season, Simmons recorded 54 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and one fumble forced in 15 games with Tennessee. The 25-year-old doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

The Tennessee Titans and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons have had talks about a long-term deal. Simmons is currently scheduled to play the 2023 season on his fifth-year option at $10.753 million, but he has outplayed that. He recorded 7.5 sacks and 27 pressures from the interior last year and has been a Pro Bowler in back-to-back seasons. On top of it, the 25-year-old pass-rusher battled through an ankle injury in 15 starts in 2022. In the last two years with Tennessee, Simmons has 67 solo tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 30 QB hits, 16 sacks, 13 passes defensed and a forced fumble in 32 games started.
