Veteran linebacker John Simon joins Titans after three seasons with Patriots

Former New England Patriots outside linebacker John Simon agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the organization announced.

Simon, 30, had been a free agent since the 2021 NFL year began in March.

Spending the previous three seasons with New England, Simon signed a $4.15 million extension in 2019. He appeared in 47 games and made 32 starts during his stay, including playoffs.

The Super Bowl LIII champion recorded 118 tackles and 8.5 sacks over that span to go with one forced fumble and one interception. And last campaign, Simon ranked fifth on the Patriots’ defense with 702 snaps played.
