JJ Jansen, the Carolina Panthers’ longest-tenured player, will return for the start of the Frank Reich era.
On Monday, the 37-year-old Jansen re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year deal, the team announced. Jansen was set to test free agency in March.
Jansen set a new franchise record for games played in a Panthers uniform this past season. Jansen surpassed John Kasay’s streak of 221 games in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. He finished last season with 226 games played.
