Simmons Soars, Ward Overlooked

Jeffery Simmons just signed a $100 million, three-year deal to stay with the Titans through 2030, cementing his status as a franchise cornerstone despite the team’s past struggles. Ranked 20 on CBS’s top 100 players list — a huge leap from last year — Simmons’ dominance as an interior rusher and run-stopper is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Meanwhile, quarterback Cam Ward sparked debate after being left off the list, even as analysts like Pete Prisco insist QBs are the most valuable players — especially since Ward’s performance may outshine Denver’s Bo Nix, who made the cut. With the Titans aiming to rebound from a 3-14 season, their hopes rest on Simmons’ continued excellence and Ward’s potential breakout, starting September 13th against the Jets. The spotlight is on both players as the team looks to turn things around — and prove their worth on the field. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
