Center David Andrews returned to the Patriots lineup in 2020 after missing the entire 2019 season due to blood clots in his lungs, but it’s up in the air if he’ll be back in 2021.

Andrews is set for unrestricted free agency in March if he does not strike a new deal with New England. In a recent Q-and-A on Instagram, Andrews indicated he’d like to land such a deal without closing off other options in the event that no agreement is reached.

“We would love to stay,” Andrews wrote, via NBCSportsBoston.com. “New England is our home but we are up for anything.”

Left guard Joe Thuney is also set for free agency and the Patriots will have to decide how much of their budget they will earmark for the interior of the offensive line in 2021.

  1. With his medical issues and the support that New England gave him throughout the ordeal one would think that it is not all about the highest $ deal.

    I don’t think Andrews is trying to stoke a bidding war but meant if Pats weren’t renewing he’d happily consider elsewhere. He’s mainly just putting it out there that he still wants to play.

  4. Thuney will get big money from some team, and he should, high character reliable top 5 guard in the league who can actually play every position on the o-line well.

    I think the Pats probably sign Andrews to a nice contract for him; not as much as he might be able to get elsewhere but close, and he sounds like he really wants to stay, I am sure the Pats want him, and I do not expect Andrews will get monster offers in Free Agency as Thuney probably will.

  6. Bill B usually lets players walk before paying big money contracts. The Patriots do not have a quality starting QB on the roster. Andrews or Thuney could be part of a trade to get one.

  7. I expect both Andrews and Thuney to play for a different team in 2021. The Chiefs need players on their O Line and both of the Pats’ players are All-Pro material so I’m thinking one, or both, might be wearing red and white this coming season.
