JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed LS Ross Matiscik to a two-year contract extension, the team announced today.
"Ross' consistency and ability to get down the field and make plays on special teams gives us an edge in that phase of the game," said General Manager James Gladstone. "He has played at an elite level for several seasons and is at the top of the league at what he does."
Matiscik, 29, has spent six seasons with Jacksonville and played 101 games as a Jaguar after signing with the team as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Baylor in 2020. Since entering the league, his 22 special teams tackles are tied for the most in the NFL at his position. Matiscik has earned All Pro and Pro Bowl honors in each of the last three seasons. Only OL Tony Boselli and WR Jimmy Smith have more Pro Bowl nods in franchise history (five each).
He played 140 special teams snaps in 2025 and produced four tackles, tied for third in the league among long snappers. Matiscik has snapped for P Logan Cooke to achieve a 43.0-yard net punting average in 2025, the fourth best mark in the AFC, and for K Cam Little's franchise-record 140 points scored, fifth most in the NFL this season.
A native of McKinney, Texas, Matiscik played long snapper and linebacker at Baylor. Over five years (2016-19), he appeared in 52 games and totaled 29 tackles.
