The biggest splash new Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi made was signing former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore to a four-year, $82 million contract. Moore has started in 66 games but he gave up 12 sacks last season, according to Pro Football Focus.
The initial signing of Moore was met with a lot of pushback and that's not changing. While the signing allows the Titans to move JC Latham to right tackle, overpaying Moore could come back to haunt them.
Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report went through and ranked the eight-worst free agent signings this offseason. He had Moore at the top of the list.
"Adding offensive line help in free agency can be a dangerous proposition," Davenport wrote. "There are essentially two types of linemen who hit the open market—aging veterans and middling talents who almost always wind up being overpaid.
"Offensive tackle Dan Moore definitely fits into that latter category. ... Moore is an average (at best) tackle who is now a top-10 player at the position in terms of average annual salary."
For now, the Moore contract doesn't look the best but it doesn't that it'll always be that way. He now gets to work with Bill Callahan, who is one of the top offensive line coaches in the NFL.
The Titans really need Moore to be a hit. They're likely drafting their quarterback of the future in the 2025 NFL Draft and need to keep him upright. If Moore struggles, the Titans are stuck paying a major prize for a mediocre player.
Dolphins Shut Down Titans Hopes for Star WR
Any hopes that Tennessee Titans had at potentially landing Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill appear dashed.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier told reporters during a pre-draft press conference that the team is not "pursuing" a trade for Hill amid plans to move on from veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
"That is not anything that we're pursuing," Grier said of a potential Hill trade, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "Who knows? If someone wants to come and give me two first-round picks, we'll consider it."
With Tennessee's likely addition of rookie quarterback Cam Ward with the number one overall pick, Hill's name has been floated in trade speculation this offseason for the Titans. Along with Hill himself hinting at the end of the 2024 regular season that he had a desire to be traded, his expiring contract and continued off-the-field issues could also motivate the Dolphins to part ways.
Police were recently called to Hill's home in Miami to settle a domestic dispute between Hill and his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, who just so happens to be the sister of former Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro. No arrests were made and no charges were filed, per ESPN.
During the annual NFL's annual meeting, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team planned to "move forward" with Hill on the roster.
"We are fully planning to move forward as a better version of our relationship with Tyreek and the Miami Dolphins," McDaniel said in March. "I have no reason to think otherwise."
Hill, 31, finished this past season with 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns along with eight carries for 53 yards. Despite playing in all 17 games, it was the first time he failed to reach the 1,000-yard receiving mark since 2019 with the Kansas City Chiefs, though the extended absence of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was major reason for Hill's dip in usual production.
