David Andrews discusses painful split from Patriots after 10 seasons

After winning two Super Bowls over 10 seasons in Foxborough, longtime center David Andrews saw his time in New England come to a close last week.

The Patriots made the call to release the 32-year-old Andrews last week, parting ways with the veteran during an offseason where he was on the mend from rotator cuff surgery that eneded his 2024 campaign after just four games.

New England made a quick pivot to replace Andrews in free agency, signing veteran center Garrett Bradbury to a two-year contract this week.

While Andrews was staring at an uphill climb when it came to reclaiming his starting role given both his age and the severity of his shoulder injury, he said it was still painful to see his run with the Patriots end on such terms.
