The Carolina Panthers have officially re-signed veteran long snapper JJ Jansen for his 18th NFL season, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The move ensures that the longest-tenured player in franchise history will remain in Charlotte for at least one more year.
Jansen, 39, originally joined the Panthers in 2009 via a trade with the Green Bay Packers. Since then, he has become a fixture of the organization, appearing in a franchise-record 257 consecutive games. He surpassed John Kasay for the most games played in team history during the 2022 season and has continued to extend that lead with every appearance.
The Pro Bowl specialist has been a model of consistency for the Carolina special teams unit, having never missed a game during his tenure with the team. By securing Jansen, the Panthers maintain stability at a critical specialist position as they continue to build their roster under the current front office and coaching staff.
