Overview
- Connor McGovern said he has had no contact from the Bills and believes his time in Buffalo is "over and done," per The Athletic.
- The 28-year-old is coming off a Pro Bowl nod with a 97.2% pass block win rate that tied for second among qualifying centers.
- He started all but two regular-season games since signing in 2023 and played through a Week 5 right-hand injury without missing starts.
- Buffalo is about $7.9 million over the 2026 salary cap, a factor that could hinder efforts to retain the starting center.
- Reports link the Raiders as a realistic suitor given their estimated $88.1 million in cap space, with ESPN analyses projecting McGovern's next deal in the $9–16 million per-year range as a lower-cost alternative to pricier targets like Tyler Linderbaum.
