The Miami Dolphins have signed Joe Cardona, a 33-year-old former New England Patriots long snapper, as a potential replacement for Blake Ferguson. Cardona, a Navy graduate, has a decade of experience in the NFL and has won two Super Bowl titles. Ferguson, who was released following a season affected by a non-football illness, previously served since 2020. Cardona's signing complicates roster aspirations for undrafted rookie Kneeland Hibbett, particularly after the Dolphins' struggles with temporary long snappers during Ferguson's absence last season.
The Miami Dolphins have signed long snapper Joe Cardona, elevating competition at the position after releasing Blake Ferguson, who missed most of the last season.
Cardona, a veteran of 10 seasons with the New England Patriots, brings experience and two Super Bowl victories, aiming to secure the Dolphins' long snapper role.
The signing makes the roster competition more challenging for rookie Kneeland Hibbett, who was vying for the long snapper position after Ferguson's departure.
Last season, in Ferguson's absence, the Dolphins struggled with four different free-agent long snappers, emphasizing the need for stability in the long snapper role.
