Andrew Hawkins: Announces retirement from NFL
Andrew Hawkins has announced his retirement from the NFL, the Patriots' official site reports.Hawkins signed with the Patriots in May and had a chance to stick with the team as depth wideout, but the 31-year-old indicated Tuesday that his "body just didn't respond the way it should" as he prepared for training camp. The 5-foot-7, 180-pounder saw action in 16 contests for the Browns in 2016, en route to hauling in 33 passes for 324 yards and three TDs.

Patriots' Andrew Hawkins: Signs with New England
Andrew Hawkins signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Hawkins was let go by the Browns back in February after spending the past three years in Cleveland. He was active for all 16 games in 2016, but failed to make a significant impact out of the slot, logging 33 receptions for 324 yards and three touchdowns. Though Hawkins now finds himself in a more favorable passing attack in New England, he'll also face heavier competition for reps. He'll likely find himself no higher than seventh on the depth chart at receiver entering camp, so unless the Patriots elect to cut the declining Danny Amendola or special teams standout Matthew Slater, Hawkins may face an uphill battle to crack the 53-man roster.

Andrew Hawkins: Released by Browns
Andrew Hawkins was released by the Browns on Monday.Hawkins' release will save Cleveland $1.8 million in cap space heading into free agency, where they'll seek to retain the services of top wideout Terrelle Pryor (finger). After posting a career-high 63 catches for 824 yards upon signing with the Browns in 2014, Hawkins saw his role diminished over the last couple years, culminating in just 33 grabs for 324 yards and three scores this past season. Soon to be 31 years old, the shifty veteran wideout will now seek to land elsewhere ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Browns' Andrew Hawkins: Season-high five catches Sunday
Andrew Hawkins snagged all five of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's season finale versus the Steelers.Hawkins' last catch of the season went for a loss of 14 yards, so his nine yards on five catches is a bit misleading. Overall for the season, though, it was a quiet year for the 30-year-old veteran. He found the end zone twice but hauled in just 33 catches for 324 yards. Hawkins is under contract until 2018, but the Cleveland Browns may cut him loose and turn to their plethora of young receivers.

Browns' Andrew Hawkins: One catch in Week 16
Andrew Hawkins secured one of two targets for 21 yards during Saturday's win over the Chargers.Hawkins hasn't seen many throws his way during the 2016 campaign, and the same could be said for Saturday. He was targeted just twice, bringing his season total to 49. He has very little fantasy value going forward, especially if he remains with the Cleveland Browns, as rookies Rashard Higgins and Ricardo Louis figure to battle for the team's No. 3 receiver role in 2017.
