Bills agree to re-sign Connor McGovern to 4-year deal, AP sources say

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) --- Buffalo Bills center Connor McGovern is staying put
after agreeing to a four-year contract on Saturday, two people familiar with
the deal confirmed to The Associated Press.
The people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the team has
not announced the move. ESPN.com first reported the news.
McGovern's contract had expired and the 28-year-old was eligible to become an
unrestricted free agent next week. He has six seasons of NFL experience,
including the past three with Buffalo.
He spent the 2023 season as Buffalo's starting left guard upon joining the team
as a free agent following three years in Dallas. And McGovern made the switch
to center the following year after Mitch Morse's departure.
His return leaves Buffalo's offensive line mostly intact, with left guard David
Edwards the only starter unsigned. The Bills could be hard-pressed to bring
back Edwards as the team faces salary cap constraints.
McGovern's agreement comes a day after Buffalo released four players, including
cornerback Taron Johnson, in its effort to shed more than $32 million in
payroll to get under the cap by the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
