Rams Sign Vet Long Snapper Joe Cardona

0:00On March 10, the Los Angeles Rams just signed veteran long snapper Joe Cardona to a two-year deal. This move targets their special teams unit, which has struggled in recent years. Cardona steps in as the likely replacement for Jake McQuade, signaling the team's push toward a strong 2026 season. Cardona brings a ton of experience from his time with the New England Patriots. Traffited in 2015 after playing a Navy, he won two Super Bowls there, including one against the Rams themselves. He spent the 2025 season with the Miami Dolphins before this switch. McQuade has a long history with the franchise, dating back to when they were the St. Louis Rams in 2011. He returned late last year and helped during their run to the NFC Championship game. Now at this stage in his career, the Rams seem ready to move on for a fresh fit under their new special teams coordinator. Fans and analysts see this as part of the Rams' aggressive free agency strategy. It's not the flashiest signing, but it shores up a key weakness that can make a big difference
