David Andrews, the longtime center for the New England Patriots, is set to officially announce his retirement from the NFL on Monday. Andrews, who joined the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2015, has had an impressive career, highlighted by two Super Bowl championships and eight seasons as a team captain. He played in 124 regular-season games and was a key contributor to the team's success during his tenure.

Andrews faced challenges in the last season due to a shoulder injury, which limited him to just four games. His release by the team was reminiscent of the procedural move made with Julian Edelman prior to his retirement. Andrews' commitment to the Patriots throughout his career reflects his strong desire to remain with the team he helped build from the ground up. Patriots owner Robert Kraft praised Andrews' dedication and impact on the organization.
