David Andrews Ain't Going Anywhere!!!

Remember when Vince Wilfork requested his release in 2014, and everybody assumed that he was gone, then the Patriots restructured his deal and won the Super Bowl?

Well, when the Patriots brought back another #75 (which is absolute horse shit btw; it should be retired for Vince), Alex Karras on a one-year $4 million deal, "everybody," including yours's truly...

Welp, looks like Dave Andrews is gone. Undrafted, took over for Bryan Stork, staple of the latter years of the double dynasty & came back from a scary lung injury. I’ve bashed Bill for draft blunders but you cannot deny how great he’s been w/ undrafted guys. Bear will be missed! pic.twitter.com/62HKLJ8Ype

(Congrats on a great career Patrick! You will be missed)

If you ever had a living grandparent, you know what happens when you assume something and Dave Andrews just made an ass out of u and me. He's coming back!!!! Four more years! Four more years!

It’s a four-year deal for David Andrews to return to the Patriots. https://t.co/TrbfpgVYfJ

Losing Joe Thuney AND David Andrews in one offseason would've been brutal. Now the captain and heart of the offensive line is back. LFG, what a pleasant surprise! Let's lock up JC Jackson and figure out what's good with Stephon Gilmore (ideally, I'd like to see him remain a Patriot), resign James White, and get ready to draft for the soon-to-be Super Bowl champs. Will it count as the third leg of the Patriots dynasty or an entirely new one since Brady's gone? Whatever, we've got plenty of time to figure that out.
