J. Simmons Trade Rumors Suddenly Shut Down !

It appears that Jeffery Simmons, the standout defensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans, has attracted considerable attention from multiple NFL teams as the trade deadline looms. However, despite the rising speculations, NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero have strongly emphasized that a trade involving Simmons is highly unlikely.

Simmons, a cornerstone of the Titans’ defense and a Pro Bowler, is earning $16.5 million this season. Though his current statistics—17 tackles and 1.0 sack in five games—fall short of his stellar 2022 form, he remains a critical asset in Tennessee’s long-term plans. The Titans, struggling with a 1-6 record and reeling from DeAndre Hopkins’ trade to the Kansas City Chiefs, seem committed to retaining Simmons as they intend to rebuild.

With the Nov. 5 trade deadline fast approaching, names like Simmons, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby have been swirling in trade rumors. However, sources affirm that the likelihood of these elite defenders being moved is slim. For now, Simmons is expected to continue anchoring the Titans’ defense as they weather their current challenges.
