Tennessee Titans' JC Latham likely moving to right tackle after Dan Moore addition
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore on a four-year deal that may have a ripple effect along the offensive line.
Moore has played his entire career in Pittsburgh as a left tackle and has taken zero snaps at right tackle. The move likely means 2024 first-round pick JC Latham will move back to right tackle. This was a move that head coach Brian Callahan hinted at at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Moore has been a solid offensive lineman throughout his career with the Steelers, starting every game at left tackle since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Latham played his entire college career as a right tackle and should be able to make a smooth transition back to the right side.
Rebuilding the offensive line has been a point of emphasis for new general manager Mike Borgonzi, who has mentioned fixing the trenches consistently throughout the offseason since being hired. Moore appears to be the first step in making that happen.
The agreement will not become official until the official opening of the free-agent window on Wednesday, March 12.

How Jordan Ta'amu's UFL MVP snub motivated Defenders in 2025 championship game
How Jordan Ta'amu's UFL MVP snub motivated Defenders in 2025 championship game Show Caption Hide Caption Greg Olsen talks Tight End University and what he's excited for in the 2025 NFL season Greg Olsen stops by to talk about another year of Tight End University and who he's excited to watch as the NFL season inches closer. Sports Seriously ST. LOUIS — The UFL named Michigan Panthers quarterback Bryce Perkins its MVP for the 2025 season on its social media channels at 1:49 p.m. local time on Friday. It didn't take long for DC Defenders tight end Briley Moore to reach out to his quarterback, Jordan Ta'amu, who Moore believed "was a lock" to win the distinguished honor. At 2:51 p.m. local time, Moore sent a text to his quarterback. The 27-year-old shared the message verbatim in a news conference following the Defenders' 58-34 win over the Panthers in the 2025 UFL championship game. "I can't wait either at all," Moore read. "But when you're holding up that trophy on stage tomorrow night, I'm gonna be chanting MVP." That's exactly what happened. The entire Defenders team serenaded its quarterback after Ta'amu put together a record-breaking performance in the championship game. Ta'amu completed 21 of 28 passes for a league-record 390 yards while logging five total touchdowns in DC's rout. Despite being a part of the action, Moore could hardly believe what his quarterback had achieved. "I mean, this stat line is insane," Moore said, while glancing over a stat sheet from Saturday's game. "But that's just him. After getting that news (he didn't win MVP) 24 hours ago, he didn't flinch. He didn't try to do too much. He didn't let him affect him, and he just balled out." Moore believes one of the reasons Ta'amu progressed so much in 2025 — a season during which he led the league in passing touchdowns with 17 — was that the quarterback was playing "with a different confidence." Ta'amu explained his confidence stemmed from the trust he has in his teammates, who he said motivated him after he finished behind Perkins in the regular-season MVP voting. "Just having that brotherhood behind me meant a lot," Ta'amu said when he explained how he felt about Moore's pregame message to him. While Ta'amu praised Perkins as a "great quarterback" who deserved to be the MVP, he acknowledged that his missing out on the award fueled him and the entire Defenders team. "It just gave us a big chip on our shoulder to go out there and play hard," Ta'amu said about the championship game. The Defenders were able to do that, thanks in no small part to their offense. DC scored on its opening 10 possessions and set a UFL record for points scored in a game with 58. Moore was among those happy DC exacted revenge on Michigan, both for the team's sake and for Ta'amu's. "I feel like I didn't do enough throughout the season to get him that MVP," Moore said. "So, this game was a little personal." All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Ben Roethlisberger Reveals Which Pittsburgh Steeler Benefits Most From Aaron Rodgers Signing
Ben Roethlisberger Reveals Which Pittsburgh Steeler Benefits Most From Aaron Rodgers Signing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers were seemingly meant for one another. The Steelers had struck out on their top two quarterback choices, and Rodgers seemed to have just one team readily offering the starting quarterback position. Advertisement Although it took 70 days from his visit to signing a contract, Rodgers is in Black and Gold. The signing indicates the Steelers are looking to contend, and they now have an answer at the most important position on the field. Rodgers will be trying to channel his inner Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady, winning a championship in a new uniform. Rodgers was unable to complete the task in New York, and was unable to put together a winning season. There seems to be skepticism regarding if Rodgers can do it, and deservedly so. On top of his declining play on the Jets, Rodgers is 41 years old, a year removed from a major injury, and will be joining a roster that still has a lot of question marks on offense. The only certainty is that the quarterbacks already on the Steelers' roster will benefit from having Rodgers around, at least according to Steelers' legend Ben Roethlisberger. Advertisement On his podcast Footbahlin, Roethlisberger told former offensive coordinator Randy Richter that he thinks Will Howard is the biggest winner of the signing. "I think the person who is going to benefit the most from all of this is Will Howard," Roethlisberger said. "He gets to see how a Hall of Fame guy does it. For good, bad, and different, whatever is going to happen. He gets to see how Mason [Rudolph], whom you can call a journeyman… He's been a backup and he's been a starter. Mason has done a lot of things, so Will gets to sit back and see how they approach it." Pittsburgh selected Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after guiding Ohio State to a National Championship. Howard led the Big Ten in completion percentage (73.0), yards (4,010) and touchdowns (35). "He is going to benefit the most from this whole thing in my opinion," Roethlisberger said. "I think he's got a real chance to do something about it." Advertisement Related: Steelers Will Cave To T.J.
