Did you bother to check the depth charts on nfl.com?
You'd be suprised.
per nfl.com:
Kansas City: 2 long snappers listed, Gammon not listed elsewhere on depth chart, Allen starting DE.
Baltimore: 2 long snappers (Maese, Katula) -- long snappers only.
Buffalo: 2 long snappers (Schneck, Preston) -- Preston listed as backup guard.
Cincinnati: 1 long snapper (St. Louis) -- long snapper only.
Cleveland: 1 long snapper (Pontbriand) -- long snapper only.
Denver: 2 long snappers (Leach, Lepsis) -- Leach #4 TE, Lepsis starting Guard.
Houston: 1 long snapper (Pittman) -- long snapper only.
Indy: 1 long snapper (Snow) -- long snapper only.
Jax: 1 long snapper (Zelenka) -- long snapper only.
Miami: 2 long snappers (Denney, Zgonina) -- Denney long snapper only, Zgonina backup DT.
New England: 1 long snapper (Paxton) -- long snapper only.
NY Jets: 2 long snappers (Dearth, Dreessen) -- Dearth #3 TE, Dreessen #2 TE.
Oakland: 2 long snappers (Treu, Grove) -- True starting Center, Grove backup Center.
Pittsburgh: 1 long snapper (Warren) -- long snapper only.
San Diego: 2 long snappers (Binn, Foley) -- Binn long snapper only, Foley starting OLB.

That's just the AFC. KC is unique in that it's just one of few that have a starter at another position as their backup long snapper. Oakland's long snapper is also their starting center.
