Free agent offensive lineman Connor McGovern has reached an agreement on a massive four-year, $52 million contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal marks one of the most significant moves for an interior offensive lineman this off-season.
According to the report, the contract includes $32 million in guaranteed money, ensuring a substantial payday for McGovern. The agreement was reportedly handled and finalized by Win Sports Group. The veteran lineman has been a consistent starter throughout his career, and this new deal reflects his value as a foundational piece for an NFL offensive front.
At an average annual value of $13 million, McGovern moves into the upper echelon of earners at his position. The $32 million guarantee provides the veteran with significant security as he prepares for the next four seasons. While the specific team McGovern is joining was not immediately named in the initial report, the financial terms signal a high-priority signing for the acquiring club.
The move comes as teams across the league look to bolster their protection schemes during the busy off-season window. McGovern’s arrival is expected to provide an immediate boost in both pass protection and run blocking for his new squad as they look to solidify their starting rotation.
