It's never a good sign when you're an NFL player and you have more offseason arrests (two) than career touchdowns (one). That was the case for Willie Andrews, and now he's no longer an NFL player. The Patriots released Andrews yesterday, one day after the 24-year-old defensive back was arrested after allegedly brandishing a gun at his live-in girlfriend during an early-morning argument at his Mansfield apartment. Andrews was arraigned Monday on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a high-capacity handgun, both felonies.

With his rap sheet I expect Jerry Jones will make an imediate contract offer to him. He will fit right in with tank, pacman and the other thugs

and before all the cowgirls start crying that comment was meant to be funny, I dont even think jj is that stupid. If andrews was a star then jj would want him in Big D

Meant to be funny but it wasn't. Isnt this the 3rd Patroits player to be arrested this off-season?

A first-class move by a no-class organization.

Go GIANTS!!

Your attempt at humor is admireable. About as much as all the **** who bring up the SPYGATE thing over and over and over and over......get the idea Pat Patriot?

Good. I seriously hope that no other teams try to pick him up. It's time that the owners come together and say enough is enough. If you break the law we don;t want you in the league

Tough town. He showed her his gun. Did he even threaten her? In Massachusetts, you go to jail for just "brandishing" your gun at your girlfriend? Man, half of some cities would be locked up at this rate.

Camera culture. Like in this case, he may have her on film doin something or they were fightin over the editing of their action videos of the night before.

She must have cheated on him to pull a gun. Or he'll blame her anyways.
I agree with the Eagle's 700 Level Lifer so come on owners...they break
the law they don't play in the league. That would stop this nonsense I bet.

It will be interesting to see if he escapes the unlawful possession of a firearm charge. That's supposed to be an automatic one year prison sentence here in Massachusetts.

Congratulations: Another new Home Depot employee! LOSER!

So, by your comment I can only assume that you think it's ok to brandish a handgun at your girlfriend/wife? Can you give me 1 good reason for ever brandishing a handgun towards anyone? Unless it is in self defense then you have no argument.

The choices one makes are important.

This guy has gone from penthouse to outhouse in one fell swoop.

All from one decision.

Sounds like you liberals in Massachussets would love that old white dude in texas who shot those two illegals for robbing his neighbor
