Tennessee Titans adding another former 49er in OL Daniel Brunskill | Report
The Tennessee Titans are reportedly adding another player from the San Francisco 49ers to the roster.
Titans GM Ran Carthon will sign former 49ers guard Daniel Brunskill to a contract in NFL free agency, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Brunskill has played in 61 games and made 42 starts with the 49ers dating back to 2019 but only started two games in 2022.
Carthon is familiar with Brunskill from his time working in the 49ers' front office prior to coming to Nashville. In addition to Brunskill, Carthon is also expected to sign former 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair when free agency officially opens on Wednesday.
Brunskill isn't the only offensive lineman the Titans are connected to in free agency. Monday, the Titans reportedly agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Andre Dillard.

The Titans have a number of starters hitting free agency this offseason. In addition to players whose contracts are expiring like linebacker David Long and offensive linemen Nate Davis and Aaron Brewer, the Titans also released or are expected to releasing offensive tackle Taylor Lewan, receiver Robert Woods, linebackers Zach Cunningham and Bud Dupree, center Ben Jones and kicker Randy Bullock.
In releasing those veterans, the Titans free up nearly $50 million in cap space and put the team under the salary cap, giving the team the ninth-most money available to spend for 2023.
Titans GM Ran Carthon is one of two first-year general managers in the league this offseason and inherits a team that lost seven straight games to end the 2022 season, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
