The Tennessee Titans have made a significant move by signing veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, a deal that Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranks among the top five underrated transactions of the NFL offseason. Zeitler, who previously excelled with the Detroit Lions, is known for his consistency and strong performance, ranking highly in PFF grades for guards last season. He will bolster an offensive line that desperately needs reinforcement as the Titans aim to improve their offensive efficiency.

Adding Zeitler to the roster also provides an opportunity for the Titans to realign their offensive line, likely allowing former first-round pick JC Latham to return to the right side. With Zeitler's experience and leadership, he could play a crucial role in the development of a young quarterback, particularly if the Titans decide to draft Cam Ward with the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The one-year, $9 million contract emphasizes that while Zeitler may be in the twilight of his career, his expertise and performance levels make him an invaluable asset for the Titans as they navigate a rebuilding phase. Signing him not only helps in the immediate term but also lays a foundation for the future as the Titans look to reclaim their status in the competitive AFC South.
