PFF has mixed reviews on Tennessee Titans' offensive linemen signings

[ASFN Admin]

The second week of free agency is upon us and the dust from the first wave of signings has settled. Most teams won't make many more moves now, turning their focus to the 2025 NFL draft in April. That leaves the rest of us to ponder the player movement we witnessed and assess the outcome of each move.

To that end, Pro Football Focus named their favorite and least favorite moves for each team. For the Tennessee Titans, PFF's favorite move was signing Kevin Zeitler.

Favorite: G Kevin Zeitler-2024 PFF Grade: 86.8-2024 PFF WAR: 0.46-Contract: 1 year, $9 million ($8.745 million guaranteed)-PFF Projected Contract: 1 year, $6.25 million-PFF Deal Grade: GoodDespite turning 35 in early March (happy belated birthday, Kevin), Zeitler hasn’t skipped a beat and is still one of the most consistent guards in the game. He posted the highest PFF run-blocking grade (87.2) of his career in 2024 with the Lions. While his pass-blocking metrics took a step back, he still excelled on true pass sets, grading out in the 91st percentile at the position.

Zeitler was a massive signing for the Titans, giving their offensive line some much-needed strength, leadership, and veteran knowledge. PFF wasn't a fan of the Dan Moore Jr. signing, though.

Least Favorite: T Dan Moore Jr.-2024 PFF Grade: 67.2-2024 PFF WAR: 0.04-Contract: 4 years, $82 million ($50 million guaranteed)-PFF Projected Contract: 3 years, $45 million ($28 million guaranteed)-PFF Deal Grade: Below AverageWhile he’s coming off the best season of his career, the former Steeler still hasn’t been one of the 40 highest-graded tackles at any point in his first four years. He is now one of the 10 highest-paid tackles in football. Subpar run blocking — peaking at a 60.9 PFF grade — and inconsistent pass blocking (42.1 grade in 2023) aren't in the profile of an impact left tackle.

Reviews have been mixed on this signing with some saying the Titans overpaid Moore and others agreeing with the move. Either way, the Titans did a fair amount of tinkering with its offensive line in the hopes that it will be able to better protect the quarterback in 2025.
