Two-time Super Bowl champion announces retirement

After ten seasons in the NFL, New England Patriots stalwart David Andrews is set to retire from the game.

The 32-year-old went undrafted at the 2025 NFL Draft but was later picked up by the Patriots. Since joining the franchise in 2015 he has gone on to play ten seasons in New England and was named to the Patriots’ All-2010s Team.

Andrews won two Super Bowls with the Patriots but was released back in March, with one year and $8 million in guaranteed payments remaining on his contract. He was only involved in four games in 2024 having suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 4.

Now the team will give him the opportunity to announce his retirement in front of his fans, with a retirement announcement to take place at Gillette Stadium on Monday, June 2 at 3:30pm ET.

Team owner Robert Kraft released a statement thanking Andrews for his work with the team and stressing the importance of his input over the years.

“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."
