Patriots Release Veteran Center and Eight-Time Captain David Andrews

The move ends Andrews' decade-long tenure with New England, where he served as a leader, two-time Super Bowl champion, and anchor of the offensive line.

David Andrews, 32, was released by the Patriots after 10 seasons, during which he started 121 of 124 games and earned two Super Bowl titles.
Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2015, Andrews became an eight-time team captain and a key figure in the team's locker room culture.
Andrews' release signals a shift as new head coach Mike Vrabel continues to reshape the team following the departure of longtime coach Bill Belichick.
The Patriots free up $2.7 million in salary cap space with the move, though Andrews was under contract through 2025 with $4 million in dead money.
The team now faces uncertainty at the center position, with younger players Ben Brown and Cole Strange as potential replacements.
