Cardinals’ training camp battle: A wide open competition for long snapper job

Only two months ago, the Arizona Cardinals had two long snappers on their 90-man roster in what would have been a battle between Joe Fortunato and rookie Matt Hembrough.

For the first time since 2016, it looked as though the Cardinals were going to have a new player manning the long snapper position. Aaron Brewer held that position in Arizona for the last seven seasons and Mike Leach for seven seasons (2009-15) prior.

With practices taking place and training camp already underway, the battle for the long snapper job for the Cardinals’ 2023 season has changed.

Brewer was re-signed to a one-year contract on June 6 as he now enters his eighth season with Arizona.
