The San Francisco 49ers have signed longtime Houston Texans long snapper Jon Weeks—one of the best in the game—to a one-year deal after releasing Taybor Pepper. The contract is worth $1.42 million, including $167,500 fully guaranteed and a $167,500 signing bonus.
OverTheCap.com has the contract details, which are broken down below.
2025
Base salary: $1,255,000
Prorated signing bonus: $167,500
Salary cap number: $1,197,500
Weeks' cap hit is less than his earnings because of the Veteran Salary Benefit, a rule that allows teams to sign some veteran players to a one-year contract at the league minimum salary, but only have a portion of that salary count against the salary cap.
According to OverTheCap.com, the 49ers are currently $43,475,631 under the salary cap. However, much of that is earmarked for the future, as quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to secure one of the league's largest contracts soon.
