Per Pats beat reporter Evan Lazar
Didn’t think it was possible to love David Andrews any more than before but here we are!
Huh? Not sure I believe that.

A capable reliable 6th OL when the 1st cam mine around making 6 the backup for all 5 is almost worth the cost of a starter.Belichick pays backups more than most. His position is important. He is the Game Day backup at C and G.
We can hope that Herron is a good at backing up the tackles.
And again - the most important - and very rare - part of this FA - another long term deal for NE on lower market!

We’ll see the details, but i’m skeptical it’s a real 4 year deal for a guy who missed a season due to blood clots in his lungs. I’m guessing the Patriots have an out after 2 with minimal impact. We’ll see.
Indeed. Hope we hear more for further context. Maybe he took less guaranteed money but more years. I’m curious what offers he turned down considering it seemed all but certain he was gone.Huh? Not sure I believe that.
Plus if a T goes out, Onwenu could go back to T and Karras play G, so 6 linemen together cover an injury at any of the 5 positions! No need to go 7 deep unless 2 go down. Very versatile grouping. Edit...Oops, and Ring 6 pretty much said exactly that...This is great news, Karras is a more than capable back up to all 3 interior line positions. Injuries happen it’s always good to have good back ups.
All hail Nike, lord of negotiations.
Why does it suck to be Karras? He gets to do what he does best, play as a reserve in multiple offensive positions. He'll get into every game for a few snaps. He'll be part of the solution and a pair of fresh legs we can bring in at the end of games to help us finish strongWow! It was really weird he didn’t sign but damn sucks to be Karras
I'm sure Karras is fine. He'll be ok as a nice swing piece.Wow! It was really weird he didn’t sign but damn sucks to be Karras
Why? He's excellent.Karras can play guard, onwenu I like at RT. Can pats trade Wynn?
I love BB... but it's March... no games have been played... and QB is still a ?.Dear Ian,
Please don't erase this gem:
Belichick criticism mega-thread
Here they come. Knives out! USA Today: Belichick's greatest mistake was betting against Tom Brady. https://patriotswire.usatoday.com/2021/02/10/bill-belichicks-greatest-mistake-was-betting-against-tom-brady/ I'll post other media content related to the title here as well so it's all in one place.www.patsfans.com
I plan on referencing it early and often.
they seriously have the makings of a super bowl
Yes definitely need a good QB....not Newton. We could work with a 2001-2004 Charlie Weis short passing, heavy run offense with a QB that can make Quick decisions and can make all the throws....sometimes on the run. Doesn’t have to be superstar but efficient and not turning it over....Call me a homer but with New England's superior coaching, I firmly believe BB is a QB away from putting a Super Bowl-caliber roster together. Retaining Andrews is mammoth if only for solidifying the starters and improving depth.
