Jeffery Simmons signed a three-year, $105.8 million extension with the Titans in June 2026, with $100 million guaranteed (from the Jeffery Simmons page). That makes him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history.
The timing lines up with a big 2025 season where he recorded a career-best 11 sacks, and he now enters Robert Saleh's new defensive system — which emphasizes aggression and attacking — as the anchor of the line. He also got his right elbow cleaned up this offseason after playing through arm issues for years.
