The New England Patriots have signed veteran center Garrett Bradbury to a two-year, $12 million deal that includes $3.8 million guaranteed, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The six-year NFL veteran has started every game he has ever played as a professional - 88 in total, for the Minnesota Vikings, who moved on from him this offseason. He will replace longtime Patriots center David Andrews, who was released by New England last week. There's a possibility that Andrews elects to retire.

As for Bradbury, he steps in for the Patriots with an opportunity to start right away in Mike Vrabel's first season in New England.
