Simmons' Blockbuster Extension Elevates Bengals' Dexter Lawrence Trade

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons’ three-year, $105.8 million extension with $100 million guaranteed tops the market and makes him the highest-paid DT in NFL history, which in turn makes Cincinnati’s deal for Dexter Lawrence look like a major steal. Lawrence was acquired for a No. 10 pick and signed for three years at about $70 million ($23 million per year), a far lower annual price than Simmons’ new rate. The contrast underscores the Bengals’ cap flexibility to keep their core (Burrow, Chase, Higgins) while building a strong all-around defense around Lawrence, who is viewed as a franchise piece.

"Georgia's Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis shine as Eagles rookies"

Philadelphia Eagles' first-round defensive tackle Jalen Carter is compared to Jeffery Simmons, a two-time All Pro player for the Tennessee Titans. Both players possess similar athletic traits, but Carter is also very stout and effective when two-gapping. However, Carter's character concerns caused him to fall in the draft, and his ability to make the most of his talents in the pros remains to be seen.

Titans' Jeffery Simmons signs massive $94M extension.

Jeffery Simmons' four-year, $94 million contract extension with the Tennessee Titans, including $66 million guaranteed, has reset the market for non-Aaron Donald defensive tackles and will likely affect the New York Jets' contract negotiations with Quinnen Williams. Williams and his camp will be looking to surpass Simmons' contract, as he was a first-team All-Pro in 2022, while Simmons was a second-team All-Pro. The clock is ticking for the Jets to hammer out a deal as the market has been firmly established.
