Patriots release longtime captain Andrews

The New England Patriots are releasing longtime center David Andrews, the club announced Thursday.

Andrews played in just four games during the 2024 campaign before sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury.

The 32-year-old played at least 94% of the team's offensive snaps in his appearances from 2016-2023. He was named a team captain eight times.

Andrews has been with the Patriots since 2015 and has won two Super Bowls (LI and LIII) with the club. The 32-year-old has appeared in 124 games (121 starts) since going undrafted out of Georgia.
