Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Long snapper Joe Cardona, who won two Super Bowls in 10 seasons with the New England Patriots and was their longest-tenured player, was released by the team on Tuesday.
Cardona, 33, joined the Patriots out of Navy as a fifth-round pick in the 2015 draft. He played in 160 regular-season games — including 16 last season — and 13 postseason games. He was a member of the Super Bowl LI and Super Bowl LIII champions.
The Patriots drafted Cardona’s potential successor, Vanderbilt long snapper Julian Ashby, in the seventh round of last weekend’s NFL draft.
