The Buffalo Bills are expected to sign offensive lineman Connor McGovern to a new four-year contract extension, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The agreement keeps a key starter on the Bills' offensive front as the team prepares for the start of the new league year.
McGovern and fellow lineman David Edwards were both heading into free agency this offseason. With the Bills reaching terms on a long-term deal for McGovern, Edwards is now expected to hit the open market. McGovern has been a primary fixture on the Buffalo line, providing protection for quarterback Josh Allen since joining the team.
The four-year deal for McGovern addresses one of Buffalo's primary internal free agent concerns. While the team retains McGovern, the expected departure of Edwards will leave a vacancy in the rotation that the Bills will need to address. Further details regarding the specific financial terms of McGovern's contract have not yet been disclosed.
