Forty Niners Re-sign Veteran Snapper Jon Weeks

0:00For the NFL, it's March 3rd. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The San Francisco 49ers have resigned long snapper John Weeks to a one-year contract extension. At 41 years old, here remains the oldest player on the roster. The team made the announcement on Tuesday, locking him in after he spent last season with them. Earlier this week, General Manager John Lynch had hinted at this move during his news conference at the NFL Combine. Weeks was not expected to draw much interest on the open market, so this deal keeps him in place without much drama. Fans and analysts see this as a smart, low-key win for the 49ers special teams. Weeks brings a ton of reliability, having started his career as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans back in 2010. He stayed there for 15 seasons before joining San Francisco last year. He's also one of the Iron Men of the League, playing every single one of his 261 possible games over 16 years.

Punner Tom is more stead and kicker Eddie Penero are both headed to free agency soon, with more stead possibly retiring and Penero looking strong after a solid year.
