Titans’ Jeffery Simmons elated with L’Jarius Sneed trade

Titans DL Jeffery Simmons was ecstatic after finding out about the trade for L’Jarius Sneed.

It has been quite the roller coaster for Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons over the past few months.

The Titans unexpectedly fired a head coach he adored in Mike Vrabel, and that firing and the hiring of new head coach Brian Callahan signaled the franchise would likely be going through a rebuild, something that can often take years to complete.

Fast forward a few months and the Titans have made some impressive moves this offseason that could have the team contending much sooner than initially expected, with the latest coming in the form of general manager Ran Carthon striking a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs for top cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.

As you’d expect, Simmons was elated with the move and even pulled out a line from the movie “Jerry Maguire” to express his excitement.

Big Jeff has been doing his thing upfront without much support on the back end for multiple years now. As a result, he hasn’t had much time to get after opposing quarterbacks with how easily their receivers get open.

Now, Simmons will have what could be an elite secondary behind him with the likes of Sneed, Chidobe Awuzie and Roger McCreary, and improved coverage on the back end should mean more sacks for Simmons.

Speaking of Awuzie, he shared his reaction to the trade, as well, as did new wideout Calvin Ridley.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
