There has been a lot of talk about whether or not the Tennessee Titans should trade Jeffery Simmons. On one hand, trading him makes a lot of sense given his age and how far away the Titans seem to be from competing. If the Titans aren’t going to be a legitimate contender until 2027, it might make sense to get some draft capital for him now.
With all of that being said, the price for a team to acquire Simmons should be sky high. Brian Callahan said after the game that Simmons is playing at a Defensive Player of the Year level right now. He’s exactly right on that one. Check out these numbers from yesterday:
Those are crazy numbers, especially for a defensive tackle.
If Mike Borgonzi is going to shop Simmons at the NFL trade deadline, the price should start at two first round picks. He isn’t going to get that, but he should start there. Borgonzi shouldn’t let him go for anything less than a first round pick and another day two pick. If teams aren’t willing to pay that, Borgonzi should just keep Simmons and watch him continue to wreck opposing offenses.
