Two-time Super Bowl champion David Andrews to retire after a decade in the NFL
Two-time Super Bowl winner David Andrews is retiring from the NFL after a decade in the trenches for the New England Patriots.
Andrews announced his retirement on Wednesday and will hold his retirement press conference on Monday.
The 32-year-old played for his entire 10-season NFL career with the Patriots, coming into the team with the duo of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick at quarterback and head coach.
Andrews went unselected in the 2015 NFL Draft and was picked up by Belichick as a reinforcement for the preseason.
After playing a ton in leadup to the start of the regular season, Andrews started in Week 1 and did not give up his starting spot for 10 weeks.
From the 2016 season on, Andrews has been the center of choice for the Patriots, helping Belichick win his final two Super Bowls in 2017 and 2019.
'Congrats on a hellva career DA,' former Patriot Julian Edelman said on social media. 'Remember your first start. UFA, rookie year, had fire in his eyes and never looked back. Congrats brother!'
The former Georgia Bulldog became popular with Patriots fans after taking a 50 percent pay cut to stay with the team in 2021.
Andrews played his last game for the Patriots last October after suffering a season-ending injury against the San Francisco 49ers.
Andrews release in March did not see him linked with other NFL teams despite every team being keen on building their depth in the trenches.
The behemoth finishes his NFL career with 124 games played, with 121 starts.

JoJo Siwa breaks silence on Chris Hughes romance, split with Kath Ebbs and her sexuality saying she's ‘head over heels'
JOJO Siwa has broken her silence on being "head over heels" for Chris Hughes - as she admitted their previously platonic connection has now "developed." The Dance Moms star, 22, was candid in addressing her feelings for the Love Island alum after they were spotted cosying up on a night out with pals. 6 6 6 It came shortly after the duo shared an intimate video together before snuggling up in bed - in a snap which has since been deleted. The actress and singer - who formed a blossoming connection with ITV Racing pundit Chris, 32, in Celebrity Big Brother this year - has now opened up on the "genuine" nature of their bond. She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them." Clarifying the pair's exact relationship status she told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." SHOCK SPLIT The Boomerang songstress was dating partner Kath Ebbs when she stepped foot in the ITV spy house. Yet Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the US TV alum during the wrap party for the reality series. Watch as JoJo Siwa makes Chris Hughes blush with cute tribute as he proudly watches her perform in London Taking to Instagram at the time, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in "complete shock" and felt "numbed out and humiliated" after being dumped by JoJo. Yet she has now told how she is "preserving her piece" - and not hitting back at her former partner's social media post. After revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show's live stream she said she now wants to identify as queer. During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: "I feel so queer,", as co-star Danny then responded: "I'm queer!" JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. In her new interview, she told how the phrase "encompasses how I am, and who I am." She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. "But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love." The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity". JoJo's sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor Mickey Rourke made a homophobic slur when talking to her earlier on in the series. 6 6 6
