Guess they felt like tinkering with his contract now instead of later.

Well, when you had the money on the table for Aldon you gotta use it somewhere when he rejected it.

The less football publicity a Long Snapper gets, the better..  Other than when they sign a new contract,   the only time they usually get publicity for their play is when they screw up a snap.

When you don't have one, it is really noticeable.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

We should've signed that ex-military guy so we could fill the stands and get people to games. Maybe even sign Tebow for a side-line decoration... He could interact with fans during the game and sign footballs!

Wouldn't that devalue the football?

You're right, no signing footballs. Just throw them into the crowd, and everyone has a fair chance to catch it with how wild his throws are.

Joey Z wasn't just a long snapper. I'm not sure if you knew this, but he was kind of a big deal

A good one is. David Binn played for the Chargers for 16 years and Zak DeOssie is going on 8 years for the Giants.

As a Bama guy, and knowing Tinker's story, it's been a small highlight each year to see he's still "the guy" at the least thought-of position. While it is comical that LS is still a dedicated position for most teams after all these years and the evolution of football, I couldn't be happier for him. Just one of those good people who's worked hard for everything. If you don't know his story regarding Tuscaloosa's tornado a few years back, look it up.

A few teams have players at other positions who also longsnap for their team. I don't know of any particular teams this year where this is the case, but over the past decade I've heard of this being the case.


 

Most teams also have a player at some other position who they can utilize as an emergency longsnapper just in case. I don't know who might hold this role for the Jaguars, but back in the day Double D was the Jaguars emergency longsnapper.

Joey Z was also listed at TE, but I don't recall ever seeing him take a snap as a TE. That said, he was a Special Teams stud in more ways than one. I'm thining he played in all the units in some capacity.
