"Jeffery Simmons is a pillar for our franchise and embodies what it means to be a Titan. He's the premier defensive tackle in the National Football League and you win with players like Jeffery," Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said in a statement. "Not only is his leadership on the field what we want our program to represent, but off the field, he sets the standard for our community.
"I'd like to thank Todd France and AJ Stevens with Athletes First for their communication and efforts to get this deal done," Borgonzi continued. "I'd also like to thank Vin Marino, Leland Taylor and Dave Gardi for spearheading negotiations that resulted in a win for everyone. This wouldn't be possible without the support of Amy and the Adams family. You always want to keep your best players and we accomplished that today. We're excited for Jeffery to be here in Nashville for the long haul."
