The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely lose veteran tackle Dan Moore Jr. in free agency. A starter at left tackle since 2021, Moore will want a new contract, and while he has played better this year, the Steelers still want to see what Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu look like as a tackle duo.

That means Moore, who has stayed around as the starter despite two first-round picks, will likely be heading elsewhere in 2025. For the Steelers, it makes sense, especially as Jones has progressed through the season.

He is playing better down the stretch, and the Steelers have seen Moore become a bigger detriment in pass protection as he faces top competition. Since the bye week, Pro Football Focus has allowed Moore eight sacks, the most in the NFL among offensive linemen.

Some of those could be more allotted to Russell Wilson holding onto the football, but his play has dropped off from where it was during the first half of the regular season. As a result, the Steelers will likely move on from Moore, who should get a sizeable contract this offseason based on at least starter-level play throughout the 2024 season.

With his experience, Moore will at least be attractive to be an offensive line-needy team, while the Steelers will finally want to shift over to their young tackles for good.
