The Jacksonville Jaguars have extended long-snapper Ross Matiscik's contract for two more years, keeping him with the team through 2028. The new deal, worth $3.8 million, makes Matiscik the highest-paid long-snapper in the NFL. This move comes on the heels of last summer's extension for punter Logan Cooke, who remains under contract through 2029. The trio of Matiscik, Cooke, and kicker Cam Little has formed a strong core for the Jaguars' special teams, with both Matiscik and Cooke being recognized as Pro Bowl selections. Special teams coordinator Heath Farwell noted their work ethic and accountability as factors in their effectiveness.
