The New England Patriots' offseason overhaul under new head coach Mike Vrabel continues with the release of 10-year veteran and two-time Super Bowl champion center David Andrews, the team announced Thursday.

David Andrews took to social media on Thursday to thank the New England Patriots for 10 great years. In a surprising move, the longtime team captain was released Thursday morning, but Andrews is grateful for what the organization did for him throughout his career.

Andrews has previously considered retirement and said in February that he couldn't envision playing anywhere else.
