Buffalo Bills Secure Center with McGovern Extension

0:00It's March 7th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Buffalo Bills have locked in their center by extending Conor McGovern's contract for four years. The deal is worth $52 million dollars with $32 million guaranteed. This keeps the key snap exchange with quarterback Josh Allen steady heading into next season. The move secures at least four of the Bills five starting offensive lineman from their top performing unit over the last two years. General manager Brandon Bean faced tough choices with free agency looming, especially after left guard David Edwards also hits the market. Bean made it clear he wanted both interior lineman back for their strong playing. With a negotiating period starting March 9th, resigning McGovern counts as a big early win for Buffalo's line stability. McGovern, now 28, proved durable with no misstarts in three Bills seasons. He shifted from left guard to center last spring and quickly built strong chemistry with Allen, earning a pro bowl nod this year.

This setup helped Buffalo climb into the top 10 for rushing last season and lead the league this year. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description.
