It was an ordinary December morning at the Titans’ training facility when whispers began to circulate that Simmons was reconsidering his future. By midday, the whispers turned into confirmation as Simmons, in a hastily arranged press conference, revealed the unexpected decision.
“I want to start by thanking the Titans organization and the fans for the love and support they’ve given me over the years,” Simmons began, his voice steady but tinged with emotion. “But after much thought and prayer, I’ve decided to continue my career with the Atlanta Falcons. This decision wasn’t about money or championships—it’s about family.”
Simmons explained that his grandmother, who had been instrumental in raising him, had recently been diagnosed with a serious illness. “My grandmother lives in Georgia, and I want to be closer to her during this time. She’s the backbone of my family, and this move is my way of showing her how much she means to me.”

I know my grandmother is proud of me, and I’m looking forward to making her smile every Sunday in Atlanta.”
