What happened: The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing long snapper Ross Matiscik to a two-year extension worth $3.8 million in new money, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The deal makes Matiscik the highest-paid long snapper in the league. It was negotiated by agent Jonathan Perzley of SPORTSTARSNYC.
Why it matters: Matiscik has earned three straight Pro Bowl nods, and Jacksonville is now paying him in line with that production. Locking up a reliable specialist removes a small but real source of special-teams risk as the Jaguars build on a historic 13-win season and chase a deeper run in 2026.
By the numbers: Terms: 2-year extension, $3.8M in new money. Accolades: 3 consecutive Pro Bowl selections. Distinction: new highest-paid long snapper in the NFL.
What to watch: Watch whether the extension nudges the long-snapper market upward across the league. Jacksonville's special-teams unit stays intact heading into 2026 training camp.
