    Flowers would be the absolute best FA we could sign right now. We need to shore up Tannehills intior protection if we want to have any semblance of a consistent offense this year.

    Projected contract for Simmons

    4. DI JEFFERY SIMMONS, TENNESSEE TITANS

    No. 19 overall pick

    Simmons may not have been a household name prior to the 2021 season, but he definitely should be now after a dominant campaign that extended into the Titans' brief playoff appearance, where he sacked Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow three times in a narrow 19-16 defeat. Simmons tore his ACL just two months prior to the 2019 draft but has already demonstrated why he remained a top-20 draft selection with rare strength and explosiveness off the line.

    A handful of interior defenders — the GiantsLeonard Williams, ColtsDeForest Buckner and ChiefsChris Jones — are new members of the $20 million per year club, but none have been able to match the great Aaron Donald‘s $22.5 million per year deal signed in 2018. Donald is looking for an extension this offseason that, even at 31 years old, could best his own record.

    Therefore, Simmons could wait until this deal gets done before resuming negotiations under a new position market shortly before the 2022 season gets underway. Simmons is one of just seven interior defenders with more than 100 quarterback pressures over the last two seasons, landing at sixth with 103. The current five highest-paid interior defenders in the NFL — along with Cameron Heyward, whose deal ranks ninth and was signed when he was 31 years old — round out the group. There is no reason Simmons won't join this group of elite interior pass-rushers from a financial standpoint as well.

    Contract projection: Five years, $110 million ($22M per year), $70 million total guaranteed

    That 2019 draft was pure gold.

    You've got to be kidding. Surely they realize that they can't draft anyone and need their money.

    I read the idea of Henry is getting an extension - which will kick his salary cap hits down the road.

    I bet we're about to wrap up Simmons.

    I would like to see us bring in Landon Collins to play rover, and then maybe a Tak McKinley for EDGE depth.
