The New England Patriots have seen extensive personnel turnover across their roster over the last few seasons, but David Andrews remained a constant going back to 2015. On Thursday, however, his tenure came to an end.
Coming off a season-ending shoulder injury and with a new coaching staff in place, the team has opted to release its longtime starting center and team captain. In the aftermath of the move, owner Robert Kraft released a statement praising the 32-year-old.
“David Andrews’ career success is a shining example of what every NFL prospect should strive to achieve,” Kraft said.
