The 49ers have landed a new long snapper. The team is signing veteran Jon Weeks<\/strong>, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston. This news follows a report from earlier today that the 49ers were cutting Taybor Pepper<\/strong>, per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n

Weeks is inking a one-year deal worth $1.422MM, according to Wilson. The deal contains $200K in guaranteed money.<\/p>\n

Weeks was the longest-tenured player in Texans history, as the long snapper had been with the organization since the 2010 season. Over that time, he\u2019s appeared in 244 games for Houston, including a 2015 season where he earned his lone Pro Bowl nod. According to Wilson, the 39-year-old was hoping to stick with the Texans, but the organization is apparently content moving forward with Tucker Addington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Weeks will be replacing Pepper, who spent the past five seasons as the 49ers long snapper. After getting into 20 games with the Packers and Dolphins to begin his career, Pepper got into 80 games during his stint in San Francisco. The veteran was set to enter the final season of a three-year extension he inked in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cWanted to end my career with the 49ers, but I\u2019ve still got some years left in the tank,\u201d<\/em> Pepper wrote on X. \u201cLove all the amazing players I\u2019ve gotten to share the field with during my time. I\u2019ll deeply miss all of the amazing support staff that continue to keep the org moving.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
