Former New England Patriots long snapper Joe Cardona plans to continue playing in the NFL, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe.
Cardona was released by the Patriots' organization on Tuesday. The release ended a 10-year tenure with the team. He was also the last-remaining player from the Patriots' Super Bowl era.
Reinforcements are coming at long snapper after the team used a seventh-round pick on Vanderbilt's Julian Ashby in the 2025 NFL draft. Nevertheless, Cardona made a massive impact on the Patriots' organization both on and off the field for a decade.
He might now be wearing a different jersey next season.
