The Tennessee Titans and former San Francisco 49ers offensive guard Daniel Brunskill reached an agreement prior to the 2023 NFL season.
Being a versatile player, Brunskill has spent his career playing all over the offensive line, primarily at guard. He started every game for the Niners in 2020 and 2021, but only played in 14 regular-season games last season.
The 29-year-old guard began his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 as an undrafted free agent after playing for San Diego State in college. Following his 2019 signing, he started to make a name for himself in the 49ers' rugged offensive line.
The two-year contract that the Titans and Brunskill agreed to is reportedly worth $5.5 million. Spotrac reports that the agreement stipulates an average yearly compensation of $2,750,000. Brunskill received a basic pay of $1,080,000 in 2023. He will become a free agent afer the 2024–2025 season.
