Here's our initial grade of the signing: The Patriots adding Bradbury to the mix is an obvious upgrade over what they would have had if they went into the season as currently constructed. They needed to fill the center position after releasing Andrews, and they managed to do so with a veteran starter.

Bradbury is headed to New England, where he'll be snapping to Drake Maye as the Patriots' likely starting center.

The New England Patriots created a void at center last week when the team released veteran David Andrews. The Pats reportedly filled that vacancy by signing Garrett Bradbury to a two-year deal on Tuesday.
