Bills Agree to Re-Sign Connor McGovern to 4-Year Deal, AP Sources Say
Connor McGovern, 28, signed a four-year, $52 million deal with $32 million guaranteed to secure the Bills’ starting center position before free agency.
- On Mar 7, 2026, the Buffalo Bills signed center Connor McGovern to a four-year, $52 million deal with $32 million guaranteed, keeping him off the open market, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
- After trading for DJ Moore and releasing four players to shed more than $32 million, Buffalo moved to keep McGovern before free agency next week.
- Connor McGovern, a six-season veteran, started 16 games at center for Buffalo in 2025 and ranked fifth in pass-block win rate at 97.2%, with six sacks attributed, per TruMedia.
- By re-signing McGovern the Bills secured a Pro Bowl-caliber center to protect Josh Allen, leaving four of five offensive-line starters locked in while David Edwards remains unsigned.
- With the center market drying up and reported interest from the Texans and Lions, Buffalo's signing of Connor McGovern before free agency reshuffles plans and impacts cap constraints.
