The Tennessee Titans and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons agreed to a revised contract that effectively gives him an additional game check, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Schefter reported Simmons will receive an extra $632,529 this year, which corrects the fact the extension he signed in 2023 didn’t account for the increase in the regular season from 16 to 17 games.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio provided more context.
“The missing money was added to the deal by the Titans, we’re told, as an extra signing bonus, fixing the mistake that left that $632,529 out of his contract previously,” Florio said. “This was not a contract extension, just an acknowledgement by the Titans that paying Simmons the $632,529 that had been omitted was the fair thing to do.”
