The Tennessee Titans have invested tons of draft capital into the offensive line recently by selecting both Northwestern guard Peter Skoronski and Alabama tackle JC Latham in the first round of the last two NFL Drafts. That made the Titans' choice to give free agent offensive tackle Dan Moore a four-year, $82 million deal that much more confusing.
However, head coach Brian Callahan and general manager Mike Borgonzi have a plan. According to NFL Reporter Albert Breer, the Titans plan on starting the newly-acquired Moore at left tackle this season and moving Latham back to right tackle, where he played in college for the Crimson Tide.
Latham played and started in all 17 games last season for the Titans and played 100% of the team's offensive snaps at left tackle. While he did endure growing pains as a rookie, as evidenced by his seven sacks allowed and 10 penalties committed, he improved throughout the year and played the sixth most snaps in the league.
Moore was a fourth-round pick by the Steelers in 2021 but quickly rose to prominence in the organization, starting 66 out of 68 games for the team during his four-year stint. He is a left tackle by training and has a bit more experience than Latham, so the move makes sense for Tennessee.
In 2024, Moore did allow the most sacks in the league, according to PFF, but he was rarely penalized and played almost every single snap for Pittsburgh last season. Callahan and his staff may have to make adjustments if things are not going well, but as it stands now, the Titans have a clear vision for the offensive line.
Titans lure LT Dan Moore with $82 million pact
Free agent left tackle Dan Moore agreed to a four-year contract worth $21 million per season with the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports.
The Titans forked over $50 million guaranteed on a deal that can be worth $82 million total, NFL Network reported. Moore's agents at CAA confirmed to ESPN that the contract pays $30 million in 2025.
The former Steelers starter was also pursued by the Chiefs and Patriots, according to reports.
Tennessee owns the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and is a team in transition. That includes the quarterback position, which general manager Mike Borgonzi described as the "position we need to get right."
Will Levis remains under contract but could be moved if the Titans find a quarterback to replace him in free agency or the draft.
Tennessee used its first-round pick (seventh overall) in 2024 on offensive tackle JC Latham but will likely use him at right tackle because of his size (6-5, 340).
Moore, 26, became one of the top tackles available in free agency after the Ravens re-signed Ronnie Stanley to a three-year, $60 million extension.
A fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Texas A&M, Moore started at left tackle (16 games) as a rookie and compiled 66 starts in four seasons in Pittsburgh.
