  The Patriots announced Wednesday that Andrews (shoulder) will announce his retirement from the NFL on Jun. 1, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Andrews was dropped by New England with a failed physical designation in early March, and it appears the veteran center has decided to call it a career. He played all nine years of his career for the Patriots, winning two Super Bowls and starting 121 of the124 regular-season games he appeared in. With Andrews out in New England, Garrett Bradbury is expected to serve as the team's starting center in 2025.
