Former Ohio State defensive end John Simon signs deal with Tennessee Titans

It’s been a day of former Ohio State defensive lineman signing deals in the NFL.

First, a report from Adam Schefter announced Sam Hubbard had agreed to a contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals.

That was quickly followed by an announcement by the Tennessee Titans that they have come to terms with former Buckeye John Simon. Contract terms were not immediately available, but it’ll be the fifth team Simon has played for over his eight-year career. Simon was drafted by the Ravens in the 2013 NFL draft. He also spent time with the Texans, Colts and, most recently, the Patriots.

During his NFL career, Simon has played in 97 games, including 52 starts. He has recorded 277 tackles, 21 sacks, 25 tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles.

Now, Simon will get a shot to continue his career playing under another former Buckeye defensive end, Tennessee head coach Mike Vrabel.
