The Buffalo Bills come close to reaching the Super Bowl every year, especially since Josh Allen emerged as a Pro Bowl quarterback in 2020. Nevertheless, Sean McDermott was somewhat surprisingly sacked after failing to meet his targets.
Now that the Bills have a new head coach in Joe Brady, some changes are expected, even if he is already a current member of the team. With free agency around the corner, the Bills may be preparing to say goodbye to some members of their core.
That could include one-time Pro Bowl center/guard Connor McGovern, who is set for free agency after three seasons in Buffalo.
The 28-year-old recently told athleticTold Tim Graham he wanted to return to Buffalo. Still, he hasn't heard a single peep from the team. Due to the lack of contact, McGovern's "gut" tells him that he will not be asked to return for a fourth season with the Bills.
"They haven't contacted me once," McGovern said. "In my conscience, it says it's over and done with."
If the Bills are indeed willing to allow McGovern to test free agency, we would imagine he would have a fairly healthy market, considering he has started all 49 games he has appeared in since signing in Buffalo. Before joining the Bills, McGovern spent three seasons with the Cowboys where he started 29 of his 45 appearances.
As a player with positional versatility capable of playing guard or center, McGovern should have no problem landing with another contender if that's what he wants.
