Robert Kraft von Patriots publishes an explanation after the publication of David Andrews

The New England Patriots officially released David Andrews on Thursday.

Yes, that was very strange.

The 32 -year -old Andrews has not revealed whether he will continue his career, although the expectation is that he would like to spend it again. The Patriot's owner Robert Kraft, together with the news about the publication of his long -term captain, published an explanation and wished him the best in his future efforts.

“David Andrew's career success is a shining example of what every NFL view wants to achieve,” said Kraft. “As a rookie -Free Agent, David received a starting order in the center in his NFL debut, a position that he anchored for the next decade. His leadership, his work morality and his commitment to the team brought him the respect and admiration of his coaches and teammates, who chose him as eight -time team captain. The importance of his leadership during his career cannot be overestimated. David is a real professional, and his impact on this organization will be felt for many years. In the name of the entire force family and the New England Patriots, I would like to express my deepest thanks for his countless contributions, and we look forward to celebrating his remarkable career. “

Andrews is expected to receive a ceremony when he pulls it up, similar to the last seasons, what New England thought was Devin McCourty and James White. Kraft's statement made it sound as if retirement was on the table.

The patriots have now commissioned to find his replacement along the offensive line, whereby only a few internal options (Cole Strange, Ben Brown, Jake Andrews) trigger the excitement.
