NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons have agreed in principle to a four-year contract extension, sources told ESPN on Friday.
The deal worth $94 million has $66 million in guarantees, including a $24 million signing bonus, sources said.
"We are not done yet," Simmons said on Twitter. "We have so much work to do!"
The deal provides long-term security for Simmons, who had been set to play on the fifth-year option at $10.75 million. Titans general manager Ran Carthon prioritized signing Simmons to the extension when he came to Tennessee in January.
