Long Snapper Dorenbos Gets a Five-Year Deal

Posted by Matt Loede on December 29th, 2007 filed in News

Long snapper Jon Dorenbos has been handed a new five-year extension.  He would have been an unrestricted free agent after the season, which concludes with the Bills matchup at home tomorrow.  “Jon has been a very good long snapper for us over the last year and a half,” Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said. “Good, consistent long snappers are hard to find and we wanted to shore up that position for the next several years.”  He was signed last season after regular long snapper Mike Bartum was hurt.  He has also played with the Bills (2003-04) and Titans (2005-06).
