Longtime Patriots C David Andrews retiring
May 28 - Longtime Patriots center David Andrews is retiring from the NFL after 10 years in New England.
The team announced Wednesday that a retirement press conference will be held for Andrews, 32, on Monday.
The Patriots released the two-time Super Bowl champion in March with one year and $8 million fully guaranteed remaining on his contract.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in 2015, Andrews played in 124 regular season games (121 starts) and 12 playoff games (10 starts).
Andrews played in only four games in 2024 before season-ending shoulder surgery. He missed the entire 2019 season after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
At the time of his release, team owner Robert Kraft released a statement regarding Andrews' importance to the franchise.
"His leadership, work ethic, and dedication to the team earned him the respect and admiration of his coaches and teammates, who elected him as an eight-time team captain," Kraft said. "The importance of his leadership during his career cannot be overstated. David is a true professional, and his impact on this organization will be felt for many years to come."

JoJo Siwa breaks down in tears as she leaves UK to head back home after spending three weeks with Chris Hughes
JOJO Siwa revealed she's in floods of tears after leaving the UK following three weeks with her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. The US pop star, 22, returned to London in May to perform a gig and enjoyed an extended stay with Chris, who she met on Celebrity Big Brother in March 5 5 5 A JoJo fan page shared a meme of a young girl crying in London on Instagram which the pop star reposted and added: "Honestly it was worse than this more tears hahaha." It was reminiscent of the first days of their romance when Chris jetted home from the States after a week-long stay, leaving JoJo in tears. They're confident they can weather long distance though. JoJo insisted she'll never break up with Chris, 32, calling their relationship "earthquake proof". She told Capital Breakfast: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch! I could never get tired of speaking highly of him, he's just the best." The pair spent time with Chris's parents in the Cotswolds during her stay, enjoying time riding horses. They couldn't keep their hands off each other at times with Chris pictured kissing JoJo on the neck. JoJo admitted she's "shocked" at how close they have become in such a short period of time. Speaking to Billboard, she said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for. "I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing. "You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell." 5 5
