Jeffery Simmons should've retired a Titan.

But the Titans suck. They've failed to field a competitive football team for YEARS. Wrong GMs, wrong coaches, a coach who should never have been fired, instability across the organization, and a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad team.

If the Titans want to return to competitive football, trading Simmons was a necessary move. The most successful (and quickest) rebuilds in the modern NFL have come with multiple extra first-round picks over a multi-year span. Look at the Lions after they traded Matthew Stafford as a prime example. Look at the Texans after trading Deshaun Watson.

The Titans got a haul. Two extra first round picks could really accelerate the turnaround this team has been chasing for 4 years.

But it sucks to see Jeffery Simmons go. He was the one stability through all the suck, the closest thing the Titans have had to a superstar player since Derrick Henry walked, and the one reliable player Titans fans could count on to show up every single week. It will be weird watching him play in Chicago, but he deserves to play for a legitimate contender.

By the time the Titans could even expect to be somewhat competitive, Simmons will be on the back nine of his career. The move makes sense for everyone involved.

Maybe one day the Titans will be good enough that their biggest stars can actually retire with the Titans. So it sucks today, but it's also awesome for the future trajectory of this franchise. Draft season just got a lot more fun.

Quotes after playing the #Titans this yr:

Kayshon Boutte: Lazy CB/S play.

Raiders coach: Worst team we've seen in 25 yrs.

Pittman Jr: They didn't look like they wanted to play. No energy.

Another penalty and another garbage call on a clean hit.

It’s so exhausting that every single week the Titans get screwed by the refs.

[Buck Reising @BuckReising]

That’s back-to-back weeks with dog shit calls against the Titans, objectively

If Josh Allen’s was “incomplete” should Josh Dobbs’ be a incomplete? #Titans

The Titans are the only team to be 7-3 or better through 10 games in each of the last 3 seasons🤯

@DIRECTVhelp Refund? We pay way too much money to have issues like this every week when things only need to work 6 hours a week

[Luke Worsham @luke_worsham]

Hard for a team to exit a draft worse than they were when they started but the #Titans are knocking on that door.

Love waking up to heartbreak

[Paul Kuharsky @PaulKuharskyNFL]

Completely wasted chance by #Titans.

You don’t get two home games to go to the Super Bowl very often. They get nine sacks and lose. Offense has to produce more than 16 points.

[TURRON DAVENPORT @TDavenport_NFL]

Hard to understand how the #Titans    got nine sacks (tied an NFL postseason record) and held the Bengals to 19 points and lost.

[Lukas Jones @LJones_17]

The titans way. My heart hurts rooting for this team

[TicTacTitans @TicTacTitans]

The #Titans defense tied the playoff record for sacks

AJ Brown set a franchise record in receiving yards

I wasn’t enough. Tannehill choked.

Congratulations to Cincinnati though. They deserve it.
