Bills lock in McGovern with four-year, $52M deal to anchor the line
The Buffalo Bills secured center Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million contract with $32 million guaranteed, keeping him off the free-agent market and stabilizing the interior protection for Josh Allen. The timing is notable due to potential void-date issues that could trigger a $4.8 million dead-cap hit in 2026 if not addressed. McGovern, who has started 49 regular-season games and seven playoff games for Buffalo and earned Pro Bowl honors in 2024, joined the Bills in 2023 after being with the Cowboys, with GM Brandon Beane prioritizing his continuation to maintain a strong offensive line.
