Already the longest-tenured player in Texans history, Jon Weeks will keep going with the AFC South franchise. The veteran long snapper is set to play a 15th season with the team.
Weeks agreed to another one-year contract to stay in Houston on Thursday, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Standard long snapper money will come Weeks’ way, with the specialist agreeing to terms on a $1.37M deal for the 2024 season. The contract includes a $168K signing bonus.
This season, Weeks reached 227 games as a Texan this season (239 if playoff games are counted, as Weeks has snapped in every Texans playoff game). The 2024 season will be Weeks’ age-38 campaign; he will turn 38 later this month. The low wear and tear on long snappers allows for considerable longevity, and Weeks has taken full advantage by extending his career to this point.
The Texans initially added Weeks as a 2010 UDFA. This will be the Baylor alum’s eighth contract with the team. After signing multiple four-year extensions during the 2010s, Weeks has gone year-to-year since 2020.
Houston’s long snapper has played for seven head coaches, counting the team’s two interim leaders during his career, over the course of his NFL run. Weeks earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2015. He has lapped the field in terms of Texans games logged, surpassing Andre Johnson‘s previous franchise games-played record (169) a few years back.
