BREAKING: J.J. Jansen, Long Snapper for the Carolina Panthers, Shares Why He’s Chosen to Retire…
After 16 seasons in the NFL, J.J. Jansen stood at the podium with a calm smile and eyes that hinted at a lifetime of memories. The room was quiet as reporters leaned in, awaiting his announcement.
“I’ve always said I’d know when it was time,” Jansen began. “And now—I just do.”
He spoke not of injuries or declining performance, but of moments. Morning pancakes with his kids. Watching his son’s first football game. Quiet evenings with his wife that used to be spent on the road.
“I’ve snapped thousands of balls,” he said with a chuckle. “But I never want to miss another bedtime story.”
Jansen thanked the Panthers organization, his teammates, and the fans who had supported him through wins, losses, and everything in between. He wasn’t leaving football out of frustration—it was simply time for a new chapter.
As he stepped away from the microphone, applause filled the room. J.J. Jansen was retiring not just as a player, but as a man proud of his legacy—and ready to be present for life’s next snap.
