Texans veteran long snapper Jon Weeks has signed a one-year contract to remain with the team for his 15th season with the AFC South champions, Aaron Wilson of KPRC in Houston reports.

It’s a one-year, $1.21 million base salary contract, plus a $167,500 signing bonus for a total of $1.377 million in compensation, per a league source.

“Very, very happy and thankful to be back,” Weeks said in a statement provided by his agent, Darren Deloatche, of Ascension Enterprises, Inc.

A former Pro Bowl selection, Weeks was named the team’s nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

It’s regarded as the league’s most prestigious honor as it recognizes players’ impact in the community.

“Jon Weeks is the epitome of a man who leads by example,” Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said. “We’re so proud of the leader he is on our team and in our community. For more than a decade, Jon has made a profound impact on everyone around him and he is extremely deserving of this honor.”

Weeks joined the Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2010 out of Baylor.
