Jon Weeks

Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

Earning a C+ Contract Value Index, Jon Weeks' one-year pact reflects how San Francisco valued the position market at $1.49M AAV—a reasonable midpoint commitment for a long snapper entering his 17th season. At 40 years old, Weeks logged 2 tackles across 17 games in the 2025 season, a statistical footprint typical of the position where snapping consistency rather than counting stats defines value; his D+ performance grade captures that reality—not an indictment of his technical work, but a reflection of how little quantifiable surface area a long snapper generates on film. The one-year structure is the smart move here: San Francisco front-loaded its special teams investment by securing Weeks before free agency opened, then pivoted to kicker and punter acquisitions, signaling he's the anchor of that unit rather than a piece in flux. His B- sentiment grade and the five-outlet media consensus around the re-signing underscore what his careerStage confirms—a longtime veteran trusted enough that the organization treats him as a settled position rather than an open competition heading into the regular season 91 days out. At this price point and term length, the 49ers are paying for institutional knowledge and reliability over upside, a rational calculation for a specialist who has already carved out a reputation as one of the more durable long snappers in the league and has the job locked up with zero drama.

Current Sentiment

Jon Weeks enters the 2026 offseason with a B- sentiment standing — solid for any player, genuinely impressive for a long snapper, where "not being talked about" is usually the ceiling. The narrative driving that grade is straightforward organizational endorsement: San Francisco re-signed Weeks to a one-year extension before free agency even opened, and five separate outlets covered the move, which in specialist terms is the equivalent of a quarterback getting a full-page feature. That level of media consensus around a long snapper reflects exactly the reputation Weeks has built across 16 NFL seasons — dependable, durable, and trusted enough that the front office treats him as a settled position rather than an open competition. The disconnect worth noting is that his on-field performance grade sits at D+, which is less an indictment of his snapping and more a reflection of how little statistical surface area a long snapper generates — his 2025 season logged 2 tackles across 17 games, which is essentially the full production window for the position. What sharpens the perception story further is San Francisco's subsequent attention to kicker and punter acquisitions, a sequencing that signals Weeks is the anchor the team builds its special teams unit around rather than the last piece added. At 40 years old with the job locked up heading into the regular season still 126 days out, the narrative around Weeks is as stable as it gets — quiet competence, institutional trust, and zero drama, which is precisely the brand a long snapper wants.
