Foxborough, Mass. – for a long time New England Patriots center David AndrewsWho was released in March, will officially announce his NFL retirement on Monday, the team announced.
Andrews was a captain eight times and double Super Bowl champion who joined the team as an unlikely free agent of the University of Georgia in 2015.
He spent his entire career in the NFL in New England, playing in 124 regular season games (121 departures) and 12 playoffs (10 departures). The 32 -year -old man was selected as the team center in complete decade of the 2010 Patriots.
The announcement of Andrews’ retirement is expected to take place at the Gillette stadium on Monday at 3.30 p.m. he.
Andrews rehabilitated shoulder surgery that limited it to four games last season. The Patriots’ decision to release him was similar to what happened with the receiver Julian Edelman, who underwent chronic knee injury and was released as a procedural move before announcing his retirement in 2021.
Edelman later said that it was important for him to play his entire career with the Patriots, who seem to be in the sense of Andrews’s thought.
When the Patriots released Andrews, the owner Robert Kraft said that his “professional success is a brilliant example of what each prospect of the NFL should strive to achieve … David is a real professional and that his impact on this organization will be felt for many years to come.”
