The Houston Texans are changing the operations with their special teams.
According to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans have informed long snapper Jon Weeks that they will not re-sign him, making him a free agent when the new league year begins on March 17.
What is perplexing about the move is Weeks had not sustained a bad snap in his 11 seasons with the team. Furthermore, Weeks is atop franchise annals with most games played with 176, and at age 35, he still has some great years ahead of him as a long snapper.
Nevertheless, the Texans plan to move on from Weeks. Houston already has a long snapper signed to a reserve/future contract in Anthony Kukwa, who is 28 years old and went undrafted from Lake Erie in 2017. Kukwa was with the Oakland Raiders in their 2017 offseason program, and later spent the 2018 offseason with the Los Angeles Chargers.
