During this morning’s Toucher & Hardy, Phil Perry found the timing of David Andrews’ release by the Patriots curious. While there were questions about Andrews’ ability to play this season, he wanted to continue, making this a team decision rather than Andrews walking away. Perry was puzzled by the move, given Andrews’ leadership, experience, and understanding of the team’s system—especially in a position group facing uncertainty. He also tied it to a broader shift under the new Patriots regime, noting that other veteran leaders like Dietrich Wise and Jonathan Jones were also let go. While he acknowledged the team’s desire for a fresh start, Perry questioned why a player who embodied everything the Patriots should value wasn’t given more time.
