Beyond the moves that the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> have made during the NFL’s free agency period, what have the other teams in the AFC South been up to?<\/p>\n For the Colts, it was a fairly active few weeks. During free agency, and even in the days leading up to it, we saw nine outside signings made, along with the Colts re-signing several of their own free agents. Long-time contributors Michael Pittman and Zaire Franklin were traded away as well.<\/p>\n However, GM Chris Ballard still has work to do as well. There are three specific items<\/a> that remain on his offseason to-do list.<\/p>\n As far as the moves made by the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, and Tennessee Titans, Josh Edwards of CBS Sports<\/a> recently listed the key additions and departures for each NFL team. Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n Jacksonville Jaguars offseason moves<\/p>\n “Key additions:\u00a0RB Chris Rodriguez Jr.<\/p>\n “Key re-signings:\u00a0CB\u00a0Montaric Brown<\/a>, EDGE\u00a0Dennis Gardeck<\/a><\/p>\n “Key departures:\u00a0LB Devin Lloyd, RB\u00a0Travis Etienne<\/a>\u00a0Jr., CB\u00a0Greg Newsome II<\/a>, S Andrew Wingard”<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n Quick thoughts: It was a quiet free agency period for the Jaguars. Overall, they experienced relatively little roster turnover, but are now tasked with replacing the production that is lost with Lloyd and Etienne now elsewhere. Jacksonville has 11 picks in the upcoming NFL draft, including four in the top 100.<\/p>\n Houston Texans offseason moves<\/p>\n “Key additions:\u00a0RB David Montgomery (via trade<\/a>), OT\u00a0Braden Smith<\/a>, S\u00a0Reed Blankenship<\/a>, TE Foster Moreau, DL Logan Hall, G Evan Brown<\/p>\n “Key re-signings:\u00a0DL\u00a0Sheldon Rankins<\/a>, S\u00a0M.J. Stewart<\/a>, OT\u00a0Trent Brown<\/a>, G\u00a0Ed Ingram<\/a>, LB E.J. Speed<\/p>\n “Key departures:\u00a0OL Tytus Howard (via trade<\/a>), DL\u00a0Tim Settle<\/a>, P Tommy Townsend, LB Christian Harris”<\/p>\n Quick thoughts: A clear priority for the Texans was on reshaping the offensive line unit this offseason. Houston ranked 29th<\/a> in yards per rush last season. Houston also acquired David Montgomery to help give the run game a boost. The Houston defense was among the best in football last season.<\/p>\n Tennessee Titans offseason moves<\/p>\n “Key additions:\u00a0DL John Franklin-Myers, WR Wan’Dale Robinson, EDGE Jermaine Johnson II (via trade<\/a>), G Cordell Volson, CB Alontae Taylor, CB Cordale Flott, TE Daniel Bellinger, DL Jordan Elliott, DL Solomon Thomas (via trade), EDGE Jacob Martin, C Austin Schlottmann, CB Joshua Williams, P Tommy Townsend<\/p>\n “Key re-signings:\u00a0K Joey Slye<\/p>\n
