NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are making their first big move in free agency trying to fix a porous offensive line by bringing in Pittsburgh left tackle Dan Moore, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.
The Titans have agreed to a four-year deal worth $82 million with $50 million guaranteed, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced the signing. Contracts cannot be finalized until the new NFL year starts Wednesday afternoon.
The NFL Network first reported the deal.
Adding Moore will allow the Titans to move JC Latham, who seventh overall pick last April out of Alabama, from left tackle where he started all 17 games as a rookie to right tackle. That was their biggest problem area where Tennessee started four different players while going 3-14.
The Titans hold the No. 1 pick in the April draft and have a new general manager in Mike Borgonzi. Tennessee allowed 52 sacks in the 2024 season with only Houston, Seattle, Cleveland and Chicago giving up more. Tennessee cleared some salary cap space by releasing outside linebacker Harold Landry III on Friday.
Moore, 26, was a fourth-round pick in 2021 out of Texas A&M by the Steelers. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Moore has started all 66 games he's played, including all 17 last season.
The Titans did announce a trio of deals keeping players off the free agent market that opens Wednesday. The biggest is five-time Pro Bowl long snapper Morgan Cox, who turns 39 in April, on a one-year deal bringing him back for a fifth season. The 15-year veteran has played 233 regular-season games with 11 playoff games.
Tennessee did not announce terms for cornerback Darrell Baker, who started nine of 17 games in 2024 after being claimed off waivers from Indianapolis, or offensive lineman Andrew Rupcich who has played 12 games for the Titans over the past two seasons. The 6-6, 318-pound Rupcich missed the final 10 games of last season after being placed on injured reserve. He signed with Tennessee as an undrafted free agent out of Culver-Stockton in 2022.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at Australia’s leader on Sunday while nations expressed shock and sympathy over a mass shooting at a Jewish holiday event, saying he had warned Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that “your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire.”
Netanyahu during the war in Gaza has repeatedly sought to link widespread calls for a Palestinian state, and criticism of Israel’s military offensive in the territory following Hamas' 2023 attack, to growing incidents of antisemitism worldwide.
While others in Israel’s government on Sunday also urged Australia to do more against a sharp rise in antisemitic attacks, Netanyahu went further in attempting to link the attack in Sydney that killed at least 11 people, including an Israeli, to support for a Palestinian state.
Australia was among several countries formally recognizing a Palestinian state in September during the United Nations gathering of world leaders. According to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, 159 countries have recognized Palestine. The vast majority of the international community believes that a two-state solution is the only way to end decades of conflict.
Netanyahu's government has said the international push for a Palestinian state rewards Hamas.
Here are some global reactions to the Australia shooting:
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that “terrorism and the killing of people, wherever they occur, are unacceptable and must be condemned.” Australia in August cut off diplomatic relations with Iran and accused it of masterminding antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
President Donald Trump called the shooting “a purely antisemitic attack,” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that “antisemitism has no place in this world.”
King Charles III said he was “appalled and saddened.” He also leads the Commonwealth, and the office of Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday said Herzog had reached out to the king in September warning of an “epidemic of antisemitism” in three Commonwealth countries: Britain, Canada and Australia.
Meanwhile, police in London said they would step up security at Jewish sites.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the attack “has left me speechless” and added that “this is an attack on our shared values. We must stop this antisemitism, here in Germany and worldwide.”
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was horrified and that “My heart is with the Jewish community worldwide on this first day of Hannukah, a festival celebrating the miracle of peace and light vanquishing darkness.”
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the “ghastly terrorist attack” and said that “we stand in solidarity with the people of Australia in this hour of grief.”
The organization's president, Ronald Lauder, said that “No community should ever fear coming together to celebrate its faith, traditions, or identity,” adding: “Make no mistake, this will not break us."
"I’m surrounded by antisemitic graffiti constantly. I think for our community in the east (of Sydney), and as a Christian, I just want to declare I stand with the people of Israel,” Anglican pastor Matt Graham told Australian Broadcasting Corp. He said he had been conducting a service at the nearby Bondi Anglican Church when panicked people began entering to take shelter.
