The Steelers moved on from offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr., clearing cap space and signaling they'll search the market for upgrades at a position that cost them games last season. Pittsburgh's pass protection fell apart down the stretch, and Moore's struggles against elite edge rushers made the decision straightforward.
Jacksonville made a splashier move, trading for quarterback Aidan Ewers to add depth behind Trevor Lawrence. Ewers showed flashes as a prospect but hasn't proven he can manage an NFL offense. The Jaguars are betting they can develop him while staying committed to Lawrence as their franchise guy.
These roster moves come as all 32 teams navigate the offseason churn. Every front office is hunting for value in free agency and the trade market, knowing that one veteran addition or young prospect could swing their Super Bowl odds. The deadline deals and depth signings happening now won't make headlines in September, but they often determine which teams stay healthy and which ones scramble for help when injuries hit.
Expect this pace of moves to accelerate as training camp approaches. Teams will lock in their rosters, practice squads will get built out, and the serious evaluations begin.
