Joe Cardona, the longest-tenured player of the New England Patriots and their long snapper since 2015, has been released. This move comes amid a broader strategy by new head coach Mike Vrabel to rebuild the team's culture, as Cardona follows other veterans like David Andrews and Ja'Whaun Bentley out the door. Former Patriots player Julian Edelman praised Cardona's contributions both on and off the field, highlighting his embodiment of the Patriot way and offering support for Cardona's future endeavors.
Joe embodied the Patriot way. He was a great teammate on the field, but even an even better guy off the field. Looking forward to what the next chapter holds for ya, Lieutenant Cardona.
Cardona is the latest veteran to be let go by the club in an apparent effort to rebuild the team's culture under new head coach Mike Vrabel.
