Titans Sign Peter Skoronski to Extension Making Him NFL's Highest-Paid Guard

The four-year, $100 million deal includes $88 million guaranteed, locking up the 2023 first-round pick who protects Cam Ward's blindside.

The Tennessee Titans signed guard Peter Skoronski to a four-year extension worth $100 million, including $88 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid guard in the NFL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

What's his background?

Skoronski was a first-round pick in 2023 out of Northwestern, where he played left tackle before Tennessee moved him inside to left guard. He's started at the position since entering the league.

Why lock him up now?

The extension gets ahead of Skoronski reaching free agency and secures a young building block on the interior of the offensive line, a priority for a team investing heavily in protecting quarterback Cam Ward as he develops.

How does this fit Tennessee's broader camp picture?

General manager Mike Borgonzi had previously said the team was in "positive conversations" with Skoronski's representatives about a long-term deal. The extension resolves that storyline before the season, giving the Titans certainty at guard as they build around Ward.
