Royale with Cheese

The other Connor McGovern.

I thought it was well known since it took him 20 years to win a Super Bowl.

Not if it doesn't work at all. WTF were the Chiefs thinking?

Yep. Muy bad for them as well? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25472529/kelvin-benjamin-signing-kansas-city-chiefs Kelvin Benjamin, cut by Bills on Tuesday, signs with Chiefs

Star wasn't great but he wasn't absolutely terrible. We have seen the turnover on the DL, McDermott isn't afraid to get rid of anyone or sitting anyone who is a non-contributor. How much money and how many years did we re-sign Kelvin Benjamin for?

I'm willing to bet there are at least 100,000 people in this world with that name.

I'm not calling you out but how do you know he was a net negative? We all remember the Jefferson play but does that define his entire season? I was mad at him too but I wouldn't think he would be one of our first resigns if he was terrible in every way last year.

LOL a more accurate subjective link? Why pay a scouting department millions a year when you can just get a PFF link for like $12.99 a month.

LOL at the overdramatic replies on here. It's a 1 year deal for a depth player. He's not going to start. He's making very little and not even guaranteed to make the team. They have to bring more than 53 players to camp lol.

TBH, I don't even know who the Cowboys starting C is lol. I think the Cowboys have a lot tied up into their line and needed to let some players of value go. I know this guy isn't All World but it looks to be an immediate upgrade and with his age, maybe there's more growth. I hope he has some tenacity to him....I think we lack that in the trenches on both sides.

You're under the assumption that McGovern doesn't want to start or something. He's behind Tyler Smith and Zach Martin on the depth chart at the guard position. McGovern is a free agent and he can choose where he goes. Are you saying the Cowboy's don't want to pay a back up more than $7 million a year means he's average?

Per my friend who is a Cowboys fan: "He's a pretty good player, good enough to start on the interior. Heard is best position is RG but never played there with us because of Zach Martin so he was mostly a LG. Has some flexibility to play center too."

If that was the case, there wouldn't be any mid tier FA.

In the article.... This wasn’t a one-year thing, either. “The Jimmy Garoppolo vanishing act,” as Silver called it, occurred every year of Garoppolo’s tenure with the 49ers except last year.

I think Bates goes back to RG and McGovern is our LG. I would like to have competition for Brown. He doesn't deserve an automatic starting spot IMO.

I honestly would like Jacoby Brissett.

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2023/03/01/cowboys-connor-mcgovern-free-agency/ Who to bring back and who to allow to test free-agent waters is never an easy decision. The Dallas Cowboys have 21 free agents to sort through this offseason, and they currently sit over the projected salary cap making for an even more difficult task. One of the players the team must decide on is offensive lineman Connor McGovern. The Cowboys selected McGovern out of Penn State in the third round of the 2019 draft and since entering the league he’s played in 45 games, starting 29. Although he’s never been mentioned as one of the better players on the offensive line, McGovern has been solid. The versatility from the four-year veteran is something that cannot be overlooked. In college, McGovern played both guard spots, and center, while in Dallas he has been used on both sides at guard. McGovern has filled in for right guard Zack Martin when he’s missed time and started 15 games at left guard last year. The offense also has lined McGovern up as a fullback and tight end with success. Another positive with McGovern is his ability to play clean football, garnering just two penalties in his three playing seasons (he missed his rookie year with a torn pectoral muscle). McGovern wasn’t flagged for a single infraction in 2022 and has played 2,015 career snaps and been flagged just twice. The Cowboys have been one of the most penalized teams in the league in recent years, so having someone they can count on to be disciplined enough not to hurt the team is huge plus. Playing clean is tough enough but doing it while playing multiple places on the offensive line is an impressive feat. McGovern is also just 25-years old, and his best football could still be ahead of him. If the Cowboys want to retain a young versatile piece of their offensive line at a good age, they’ll try to re-sign him. It helps that McGovern won’t cost near what the top free agents at guard will command since he isn’t as accomplished as some of the other options. However, because of his age and with teams desperate to upgrade their offensive lines, McGovern could be seen as a bargain for a franchise looking for interior help. There simply aren’t enough good offensive linemen around the league. The Cowboys are in a place where they need to consider all options on the offensive line and what they do elsewhere could determine McGovern’s fate with the team. There isn’t much depth on the interior of the team’s offensive line, with Matt Farniok currently as the only other guard with much experience on the roster. There are options and the team does have some versatility with the offensive line, but that means making more decisions throughout the unit. Dallas drafted Tyler Smith to be their left tackle of the future, but the team began him at left guard. Smith was supposed to gain experience in his first year before moving to LT, but those plans didn’t work out. When veteran LT Tyron Smith was hurt in preseason, the rookie was shifted outside and McGovern was inserted into the starting lineup. This offseason, the Cowboys need to make a decision on Tyron Smith. Do they keep the mammoth tackle and move Tyler Smith back to guard for another year of acclimating, or do they release the veteran, save over $13 million on the cap and accelerate the younger Smith’s learning curve yet again? And what if Dallas isn’t comfortable with right tackle Terence Steele’s health after his torn ACL suffered late in the year? The team moved Tyron Smith over to RT tackle while using Tyler Smith and Jason Peters at LT when Steele got hurt. Steele is also a free agent, albeit a restricted one, and the team needs a contingency for him as well. Those decisions on the Smiths and Steele could be a factor in what the Cowboys do with McGovern. He’s not the biggest piece of the free agent puzzle in Dallas, but the team should strongly consider re-signing McGovern if the price is right. McGovern isn’t one of the best guards in the league, but he’s a solid player, and is a good fit with the team because of his versatility, toughness, and ability to avoid penalties. McGovern doesn’t feel like a priority free agent for the Cowboys, but he does feel like a valuable player to retain.

@MAJBobby is doing a great job in Yolo's place.

Since we are picking late, I would give up our 1st.

I know right. We've never traded for a WR before.

Does this mean that they don't want to play with Russell? lol

Is he really? I never paid attention to him...I thought he might be one of our FA targets.

Better shot at Malkovich and a 5th.
