Tennessee Titans
· 2026-06-26
The Tennessee Titans have the NFL's most overpaid player on their roster, with Dan Moore Jr. topping the list.
The Titans signed Moore to a four-year deal worth $82 million in 2025, but he hasn't lived up to the contract so far.
He played 16 games in 2025/26, recording an Approximate Value (AV) of just 5, with a 62.5 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.
Moore's contract is a significant burden on the team's salary cap, with a $26.3 million cap hit, the highest on the Titans and the second-highest among NFL left tackles.
The Titans are currently standing 12th in the National Football Conference with a 7-9-1 record, on a L1 streak.
The Titans will face the New York Jets on September 13, 2026, and Moore will need to prove his worth to protect the blindside of young quarterback Cam Ward.
The team's decision to sign Moore was made after the departure of General Manager Ran Carthon, who handed out huge contracts to players like Calvin Ridley and Tony Pollard.
Ridley rejoined the team on a restructured deal, but is on thin ice as he heads into his third season with the Titans.
Pollard, on the other hand, has been a great addition to the running back room, with 1,000 rushing yards in the last four seasons.
The Titans will need to make some tough decisions about their roster and salary cap in the coming season.
As of now, the team is focused on preparing for their next game against the Jets.
The Titans' offense will need to step up to support their young quarterback and make the most of their investment in Moore.
With the right strategy and player performance, the Titans can turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs.
