David Andrews understands, but that doesn\u2019t mean he isn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n
The longtime Patriots center is no longer the longtime Patriots center, one of the last ties to the Tom Brady-Bill Belichick era, after his release last week.<\/p>\n
Andrews knew it was a possibility \u2014 one that he openly acknowledged at his end-of-season availability with media \u2014 and yet still, the call that essentially was his pink slip caught him off-guard.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a little shocked by it,\u201d Andrew said on his \u201cQuick Snap\u201d podcast on Wednesday. \u201cBut \u2026 I\u2019ve been so blessed. I\u2019ve had 10 years and never got fired. I was living a pipe dream that I would hopefully make the decision myself. What did Bill [Belichick] say? \u2018There\u2019s a light at the end of the tunnel, and you\u2019re hoping it\u2019s not a train.\u2019 I was hoping it wasn\u2019t a train, and it was a train.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut like I said, I respect their decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrews had played in 124 regular-season games since 2015 with the Patriots, served as a captain and won two Super Bowls. But he knew his body had begun to betray him, held to four games last season before electing to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n
He could have attempted to play through the torn rotator cuff and postponed surgery until the offseason, but he did not feel he could help the team with his shoulder in such a condition and felt he might not have been able to play at all in 2025.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old was hoping for a chance to show the new regime, featuring head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, that he still could play \u2014 a chance he will not get with the Patriots.<\/p>\n
\u201cI made that [surgery] decision knowing that this is a possibility, especially with a new staff coming in,\u201d Andrews said. \u201cEven if Jerod [Mayo] was there, it could be a possibility. The football team\u2019s got to make a decision that they think is best.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Patriots moved on by signing former Vikings center Garrett Bradbury to a two-year, $12 million deal.<\/p>\n
Andrews is not sure of his next step, neither announcing a retirement nor an intention to continue for a 10th NFL season with another team.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill love the organization, still love the community. We\u2019re still here,\u201d Andrews said of New England. \u201cWe don\u2019t have any plans to make any drastic moves right now, just depending on different situations. It is home right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
