49ers Sign LS Jon Weeks To Extension

Weeks, 40, was set to hit free agency in March after earning a Pro Bowl in 2025, his first season in San Francisco. He spent the previous 15 years in Houston, which featured his first Pro Bowl selection in 2015.

It is difficult to quantify his position’s impact, but he was a key part of the 49ers’ consistent kicking and punting operations last year. Eddy Piñeiro only missed one field goal all year with a league-high 96.6% conversion rate. Punter Thomas Morstead finished near the bottom of the NFL in yards per punt, but 50% of his punts were downed inside the 20-yard line, which ranked third.

Weeks earned $1.4MM on his first deal with the 49ers and should be set for a raise. (His first came in 2015 as a member of the Texans.) Chiefs long snapper James Winchester is currently the highest-paid player at his position with a $1.65MM APY, per OverTheCap. Weeks should be able to match or eclipse that number after a Pro Bowl year.

Weeks was the eighth-oldest player in the NFL in 2025 and will move up at least one spot with Philip Rivers‘ second retirement. Long snappers tend to have long careers – especially consistently good ones like Weeks – so he still may have a few years left in the tank.
