David Andrews, a long-time center for the New England Patriots, expressed his shock at being released after ten successful years with the team. In a recent podcast, he mentioned that he had anticipated a different outcome, hoping to retire as a Patriot. Coach Mike Vrabel addressed the decision to part ways with Andrews but provided little detail, highlighting the Patriots' focus on rebuilding their offensive line. The team signed Garrett Bradbury as part of their restructuring strategy.

Despite the unexpected news, Andrews maintains a strong affection for the organization and the community. Reports indicate that Andrews is recovering from a shoulder injury, with expectations for a retirement ceremony honoring his contributions to the franchise, should he choose to step away from the game.
