David Andrews has seen it all over his first six years in the NFL, but free agency was a new experience for him. The long-time New England Patriots starting center entered the open market in March, and took his time to make a decision about his landing spot.
When he did, however, he returned to the Patriots: Andrews’ first ever trip to free agency ended with him signing a four-year, $18.9 million contract to stay in New England for the foreseeable future. And as he explained during a media conference call last week, that was the outcome he and his family were hoping for all along.
