On May 13, Vrabel shared with Pats Pulpit, New England Patriots News, \u201cIn (Julian) Ashby, they found what they believe to be a suitable long-term replacement for the 33-year-old(Joe Cardona).\u201d The Patriots gave up on their longest-tenured long snapper(10 NFL seasons). They drafted Cardona in 2015 as a fifth-round 166th pick.

Mike Vrabel says the New England Patriots believe strongly in Frederick Julian Ashby II<\/p>\n

Mike Vrabel shared vital differences between 22-year-old Frederick Julian Ashby II and 33-year-old Joe Cardona at a press conference a week back,\u201cI think anytime that you have to move on from players that have been at a place and have been a part of successful football teams, it just comes down to our ability to acquire a player that we believe in strongly. We just felt like that was the best decision to go with Julian(Ashby). We are going to have two young kickers that we are going to be trying out, and after working Julian out, I think it became evident that that was probably what was in the best interest of the team.\u201dVrabel talked about Joe Cardona\u2019s release from the Patriots, \u201cI have a lot of respect for Joe and what he\u2019s done here.
