There has been a lot of talk around the Tennessee Titans extending guard Peter Skoronski during the offseason.

During his press availability at the NFL Scouting Combine, general manager Mike Borgonzi mentioned Skoronski and how the team would like to extend the rising star prior to the start of the season, even though they have the fifth-year option available to ensure he is in Nashville for at least the next two seasons.

Between Skoronski’s growth and performance, and Borgonzi’s words at the combine, it is no surprise that Thomas Valentine of Pro Football Focus (PFF) has the Titans picking up the option in his review of those eligible.

Here’s what he had to say:

11. G Peter Skoronski, Tennessee Titans

Despite spending the entirety of his college career at left tackle for Northwestern, the Titans drafted Peter Skoronski with the No. 11 pick and immediately had designs to move him inside to guard. Skoronski was incredibly refined coming out of college, but his lack of length meant he was always destined to shift inside. So far, it’s proven to be a smart decision from the Titans.

Skoronski’s NFL career started in rocky fashion, compiling a 61.6 PFF grade and allowing 32 pressures with five sacks in 14 games as a rookie. However, he has found his groove over the last two campaigns and was one of the best guards in the NFL in 2025. Skoronski’s 79.0 PFF grade in 2025 was fifth among guards, and he cut his pressure rate allowed down to 3.5%, the seventh-lowest at the position. Moreover, his 84.5 PFF pass-blocking grade was the second-highest in the NFL.

A big aid in Skoronski’s development was the Titans’ offensive line improving as a whole, but also due to his own growth as a run-blocker. Skoronski posted a 54.4 PFF run-blocking grade in 2024, but that jumped up to 73.2, 12th among guards, in 2025. Skoronski continues to grow into one of the best guards in the NFL, and the Titans will be wise to keep him in the building for as long as possible.

Prediction: Accept

The Titans are already busy making moves to rebuild the roster, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see a deal get done sooner rather than later. It would definitely fall in line with the “draft and develop” mantra that Borgonzi has talked about since his arrival early in 2025.
