Titans Ripped for $82 Million Free Agent Signing

The Tennessee Titans opened up free agency with a splash signing of former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore. Despite being the 42nd-ranked tackle in the NFL by Pro Football Focus, the team gave him a four-year contract worth $82 million.

Moore has started 66 games in his career so he brings a lot of experience but he also allowed 12 sacks last season. He'll add stability to the Titans' left tackle position but not everybody is high on the move.

Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report went through and named the biggest "WTF" moves of free agency. He listed the Moore signing among them.

"The problem is that in no world is Moore a top-10 tackle," Davenport wrote. "Per Pro Football Focus, he allowed a whopping dozen sacks in 1,111 snaps a year ago. No tackle allowed more. His pass-blocking grade fell outside the top-60 among tackles.

"Bill Callahan is one of the best offensive-line coaches the NFL has seen, but it will take more than just coaching for this not to be a massive overpay."

Moore was the first big signing of Mike Borgonzi's tenure as Titans general manager so it's impossible to know if he has a knack for these moves. Tennessee needs more to be an upgrade at left tackle or they're stuck with a huge salary cap hit until 2027 at the earliest.
