Titans’ Jeffery Simmons creates a stir on X

While the Tennessee Titans are in the middle of their general manager search, news broke on Sunday that their former head coach, Mike Vrabel, will be taking over the reins of the New England Patriots in 2025. 

At first, his hiring sparked immediate interest and speculation over the potential scheduling for their matchup. The Titans will host the Patriots next season, and this one could make for an interesting storyline that networks could use to generate some press.

After that, the social media world turned its attention to the players, especially ones with connections to Vrabel. The first mention was free agent wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and though that one stirred some emotions, it was a post by Dom that created the buzz.

“We need to start the Mike Vrabel era by trading for Jeffery Simmons,” seems innocent enough, right? That is, until Simmons himself liked the post. From that point on, the debate and conspiracy theories started to follow.

Could Vrabel and the Patriots attempt to trade for Simmons? Would the Titans consider it? Those are both interesting questions and at this point with no general manager cannot be addressed by the Titans. 

One thing is certain, though, one week into the offseason, and the Titans are making it interesting.
