CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers have re-signed long snapper J.J. Jansen to a four-year contract extension.

The team announced the deals Wednesday. Financial terms of the deals were not released.

Jansen was set to become restricted free agents on March 13.

Jansen has had only one bad snap in three seasons with Carolina. He's handled snapping duties on more than 400 punts, field goals and extra points since being acquired in 2009 in a trade with the Packers.

Jansen's agent Paul Sheehy says, "J.J. wanted to get this done before free agency and he's certainly excited about returning to the Panthers."
