Might we see some big names in the AFC South change teams before the season begins?
If so, here are a few players who could benefit from a change of scenery.
AFC South Players Who Could Use a Change of Scenery
Houston Texans: Dameon Pierce, RB
When teams make moves during the offseason to either acquire or draft a running back, it’s usually a sign they aren’t entirely thrilled with the incumbent starter or the backup waiting for a promotion.
As far as the Texans go, they may like the idea of pairing Joe Mixon with Dameon Pierce, but logic dictates that one of them will get the bulk of the carries in 2024.

Spoiler alert — it won’t be Pierce. That’s why a change of scenery could be in order.
Indianapolis Colts: Kenny Moore II, CB
Moore is still considered one of the elite slot cornerbacks in the NFL, but it’s fair to question how good the Colts will be on the defensive side of the ball this season. If Moore is looking to find a way to get a Super Bowl ring, the odds aren’t high in Indianapolis. They could improve with a new change of scenery, though.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Tank Bigsby, RB
It’s only a one-season sample, but the idea of Tank Bigsby as an effective complement to Travis Etienne Jr. never materialized for the Jaguars in 2023. Therefore, it seems he could use a change of scenery to jump-start his NFL career. Even if he stays put, the 2024 season will be pivotal for Bigsby’s future in the league.

Tennessee Titans: Treylon Burks, WR
Treylon Burks had the dubious distinction of being the draft pick the Titans gained for trading A.J. Brown, and he hasn’t been able to produce at a true level of competency through his first two years.
Tennessee has mentioned it wants Burks to compete on special teams this year, but a move off the roster could be in order.
