From the opening days of the offseason, the Tennessee Titans made it clear that they would focus on the trenches and rebuild their offensive line ahead of the 2025 season. For those around the organization, this was a must after such a dismal performance in 2024 if the team wanted to turn its fortunes around. 

To say the 2024 offensive line was bad would be an understatement; the offensive line play was abysmally poor, especially at the right tackle position, which lacked both production and stability. Armed with salary cap space, Tennessee signed Dan Moore and Kevin Zeitler to replace Dillon Radunz and Nicholas Petit-Frere to retool their line. 

With the new additions, the 2025 offensive line will look completely different, with JC Latham moving to the right side after signing Moore. The question is, will it be an improvement? On paper, the line should be better, but no one will know until the snaps are live. Zoltán Buday of Pro Football Focus (PFF) broke down the offensive lines across the league and believes that Tennessee has improved. 

24. Tennessee Titans

The Titans fielded arguably the worst offensive line in football two years ago but are inching closer to an average unit. Tennessee used back-to-back first-round picks on guard Peter Skoronski and tackle JC Latham and added center Lloyd Cushenberry III, offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr., and guard Kevin Zeitler in free agency.

However, only Zeitler has played at a high level recently over an entire season. He ranked third among all guards with an 86.5 PFF overall grade last season. The rest of the offensive line will need to step up for the Titans’ offense to make some noise with rookie Cam Ward leading the charge.

Yes, questions remain as the team heads into training camp, but it is already easy to see the improvements. While Moore does have his detractors, he could be viewed as a significant upgrade over Petit-Frere, and his presence should enable Peter Skoronski to take a step forward in 2025.

The addition of Zeitler, both on the field and in the locker room, cannot be overlooked. With JC Latham moving to his natural right tackle position, Zeitler will help stabilize that side of the unit. At the same time, his veteran experience should help lead the offensive line when challenges emerge and keep them above water. This was something the Titans lacked in 2024, especially after center Lloyd Cushenberry went down with an Achilles injury. 

Cushenberry’s health and his recovery from the injury are the biggest unknowns heading into camp. The veteran center was spotted on the field during offseason activities and could be available at the start of training camp, but this situation must also be closely monitored.Â
