"McGovern, 28, spent the last three seasons with the Bills, including the last two as Josh Allen's starting center after transitioning from left guard. In 2025, McGovern was fifth in the NFL pass block win rate (97.2%) and had six sacks attributed to him, per TruMedia."
"Both McGovern and the Bills expressed interest in his return, but also understood it would be difficult given the market and his free agency situation. The Bills, however, prioritized keep the team's center and signed him to a long-term deal just before free agency began."
"The durable McGovern has played in at least 14 games every season of his six-year career. He was selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Penn State, but missed his rookie season due to a pectoral injury."
Connor McGovern agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, including $32 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old center has spent the last three seasons with Buffalo, serving as Josh Allen's starting center for the past two years after transitioning from left guard. In 2025, McGovern ranked fifth in NFL pass block win rate at 97.2% with six sacks attributed to him. The signing keeps four of five offensive line starters locked in for the Bills, providing consistency. McGovern has maintained durability throughout his six-year career, playing at least 14 games annually. Originally drafted by Dallas in 2019, he struggled with injuries during his time with the Cowboys before finding success in Buffalo.
