Another member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line is heading elsewhere in free agency.<\/p>\n

After left tackle Dan Moore Jr. agreed to a massive four-year, $82 million deal with the Tennessee Titans earlier in the day, the Miami Dolphins have brought in guard James Daniels on a pact worth $24 million over three years, per\u00a0N<\/a>FL Network’s Tom Pelissero\u00a0and\u00a0Ian Rapoport.<\/p>\n

Daniels tore his Achilles in Pittsburgh’s Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts this past season, which prematurely ended his year while rookie Mason McCormick took over in his absence.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old came to terms on a three-year contract totaling $26.5 million with the Steelers in March 2022.<\/p>\n

Daniels started all 17 games in his first year with the team and played 100% of the offensive snaps.<\/p>\n

In 2023, he started all 15 contests he appeared in and allowed just a single sack across 576 pass blocking reps, per\u00a0Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n

Daniels began his career with the Chicago Bears, whom selected him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Iowa.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Over his four campaigns with the franchise, he started 48 games and suited up for a total of 54.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
