re-sign

Renew one's commitment

Re-sign means to sign again, typically to renew a contract or agreement.

The hyphen distinguishes it from resign (to quit), though context usually makes the meaning clear.

Sports reporting uses re-sign frequently when players extend their contracts with teams: The quarterback re-signed with the team for another three years.

The term applies broadly to any situation where someone commits again by signature to something they had previously signed.
