49ers sign former Pro Bowler to replace released special teamer

The San Francisco 49ers shook up their special teams on Thursday, releasing long snapper Taybor Pepper after five seasons with the team.

Well, they could move quickly to find a replacement, as KRPC’s Aaron Wilson reported that the 49ers have ‘legitimate interest’ in former Houston Texans long snapper Jon Weeks to fill their recently-created hole.

Update: The 49ers signed Weeks to a one-year, $1.422 million deal. He will earn $200,000 in guaranteed money.

Weeks, a 15-year pro, has spent his entire career with the Texans but is a free agent this offseason.
