Titans reportedly make Peter Skoronski NFL's highest-paid guard, sign him to 4-year, $100 million extension

NFL teams have dolled out plenty of cash to guards this offseason. The Tennessee Titans have reportedly reset the market in that department.

Tennessee announced Friday that it’s inked left guard Peter Skoronski to a multi-year extension, which, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, spans four years and is worth $100 million extension. The deal reportedly comes with $88 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid guard in the NFL.

The Titans selected Skoronski with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2023 draft out of Northwestern. Three years later, they’re rewarding him handsomely. Tennessee is banking on him anchoring an offensive line that’s tasked with setting up second-year quarterback Cam Ward for success.

“This is a tremendous blessing,” Skoronski, 25, said in a statement. “It's a reflection of the work, sacrifice and support that has helped me get to this point, and I don't take any of it for granted.”

He added: “From the moment I got here, this is where I wanted to be. I love this organization, I love this city and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue representing this franchise. I appreciate the faith they've shown in me, and now it's my job to earn it every day. I'm excited for what's ahead, but more than anything, I'm ready to get back to work."

On Skoronski’s new contract, he’ll be making $25 million per year. The previous leader in average annual value at the position was Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith, who is making $24 million per year, per Over the Cap. Atlanta Falcons left guard Matthew Bergeron is also reportedly set to earn $24 million per year on his new extension.
