Player Signing Patriots resign LS/LT Joe Cardona

[ctpatsfan77]

Per Reiss and Jason McCourty, it's a four-year deal with a $1M signing bonus.

It’s a position that goes unnoticed until there is an f-up. There haven’t been many of them since he’s been around. I remember when Jake Ingram got the yips in 2010/2011 and wound up having to be cut.

I didn’t think it was going to happen…glad it did.

I should've been a long-snapper

Great move. Still haven’t figured out a valid reason why he hasn’t won the Salute to Service award yet.

Super Bowl, here we come.

Weird to see Jason McCourty breaking a contract story but why not. Glad to have him back, great snapper and by all accounts a model Pat.

That was my plan if I had a son. We just found out they will be a girl. Ufc fighter it is.

Love this signing, Cardona has been perfect for us, was worried he was retiring.

Big money for Cardona. Up to $1.675m average per year.

Fans often forget he is a Lt. in the US Navy Reserve... nice bio here:

The Patriot: Lt. Joe Cardona Gets the Job Done

Many Navy Reserve Sailors have pressure-filled civilian careers. Every Sunday, Lieutenant Joe Cardona finds the fortunes of his co-workers — both literally and figuratively — in his hands. For seven

Cardona said he’s able to make his Navy Reserve career work alongside his professional career using lessons he learned at the Naval Academy and has since sharpened in both the wardroom and the locker room.

“Best practices for managing the workload required of us really come down to the lessons imparted to us all on day one: compartmentalizing,” said Cardona. “Doing one thing at a time while balancing a full workload. Giving that total effort every single time. Nothing can receive less focus than something else.”
