“Last week we were able to agree with Mike Miller, which was big for our special teams in the next two seasons,” general manager Kyle Walters said in a media release. “Similarly, Jesse also brings many great attributes on special teams and has continued to develop in that role for us.
“He works extremely hard, is a quiet player who goes about his business and does so at a very high level.”
