- Peter Skoronski signed a four-year, $100 million extension with $88 million guaranteed, a deal that makes the left guard the highest-paid at his position in the NFL.
- Skoronski was drafted 11th overall by Tennessee in 2023, started 14 games as a rookie, and started all 17 games in each of the following two seasons.
- Skoronski logged 1,004 snaps last season — the only Titans offensive player to play 100% of team snaps — and posted a 96.0% pass block win rate in 2025, tied for fourth among interior linemen.
- The Titans picked up Skoronski's fifth-year option in April at $19.07 million, and GM Mike Borgonzi said the goal was to lock him into a long-term deal before the season started.
- Tennessee nominated Skoronski for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award last season, citing his fair play, respect for opponents, and integrity on the field.
- GM Mike Borgonzi called Skoronski a "cornerstone" of the franchise, praising his work ethic and "perpetual desire to win" as the Titans open the new season.
Why it matters: The $88 million guarantee resets the guard market and locks in the only Titans offensive player to log 100% of snaps last season. The April fifth-year option at $19.07 million now reads as a bridge to this deal rather than a salary benchmark, and the Titans secured their most durable lineman before the season rather than risking a holdout.
