It’s the end of an era in Foxborough, as the Patriots cut ties with a longtime veteran in long snapper Joe Cardona on Tuesday afternoon.
New England announced Cardona’s release just two days after the Patriots selected another long snapper — Vanderbilt’s Julian Ashby — in the seventh round (No. 251 overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Cardona was New England’s longest-tenured player, first joining the team in 2015 and eventually winning two Super Bowls with the franchise.
With Cardona no longer on the team, the Patriots don’t have a player on their roster that won a Super Bowl with the franchise — with Kyle Dugger (2020 Draft) standing as the team’s longest-tenured player.
