Patriots released LS Joe Cardona.

The team selected his replacement, Julian Ashby, in the seventh round of the draft. This snapper of balls who are longer than usual is only 33, and it’s possible he picks up his career elsewhere. There aren’t too many remaining Patriots Regimes in the wild in 2025, but Nick Caserio does still run the Texans, and they let Jon Weeks walk this offseason, so that’s one speculative fit.

Patriots selected Vanderbilt LS Julian Ashby with the No. 251 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Patriots select the first long snapper of the draft, taking Ashby (6'1/231) out of Vanderbilt. He started his career with Furman, transferring to the Commodores for 2024. Ashby will join the Patriots special teams unit immediately, likely with the chance to be the team’s new long-term long snapper.
