The New England Patriots are ushering in a new era at the heart of their offensive line. David Andrews, who had been the team’s starter since 2016 and a team captain since 2017, was released earlier this offseason. How he will be replaced remains to be seen, with free agency pickup Garrett Bradbury seemingly the frontrunner.
The longterm outlook at the position is unclear, though, which is why the Patriots might opt to invest in a center in the NFL Draft.
