Patriots cut ties with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick's Super Bowl era in shocking post-NFL Draft move

5 hours ago 1

It's an entirely new era for the New England Patriots.

There are still old faces, like new head coach Mike Vrabel, a veteran of The Patriot Way.

But on the field, house has officially been cleaned.

On Tuesday, the Patriots released the last player on their roster to have won a playoff game.

They let go long snapper Joe Cardona, who won the last two rings that Tom Brady and Bill Belichick delivered to New England.

This move was hinted at over the weekend, when the Pats selected long snapper Julian Ashby in the seventh round of the NFL Draft.

Cardona, out of Navy, played 160 games over the last 10 years for New England. He's an active member of the Navy Reserves.

Ashby is out of Vanderbilt, which is coming off its best football season in a long time.

Amazingly, Ashby is the first Commodores player drafted since 2021.

Ashby spent his first three college seasons at Furman at the FCS level before going to Vandy.
