No Houston Texans player has reached a 13th season with the franchise. Jon Weeks is now in position to do so.
The veteran long snapper agreed to a one-year extension Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com tweets. Weeks was on track for free agency but is now signed through the 2022 season.
This agreement puts Weeks in position to surpass Andre Johnson as the longest-tenured player in Texans history. Johnson played in Houston from 2003-14; he and Weeks are the only 12-year Texans in franchise annals.
Weeks, 36, has never missed a game and has long since passed Johnson for the most games played in team history. Houston’s 17-game 2021 season pushed Weeks to the 193-game mark. No other player has suited up for 170 contests with the Texans.
