Wrong Connor McGovern.  There are two of them.  One played for the Jets, and is actually a better player than the one we signed.

Different McGovern

[TheBeaneBandit]

Average/ slightly above average guard but still with more upside. I like it/don't love it.

We will see how it plays out but right now I feel like its an overpay.

To be fair, show a free agent signed today that is not an overpay. That’s basically all free agency is.

I mean, it sounds like shooter McGavin to me but what do I know?

[Captain Hindsight]

Good, sounds like Beane watched the two best olines in football played in the Super Bowl this year.

[GETTOTHE50]

Ok good stuff. Feel a lot better now haha 

[MAJBobby]

Good player on one of the better NFL OLs with Cowboys. Immediate upgrade over both OGs to be honest and can play center so long term replacement for Morse as well. 
 

need another OG and a RT Beane but good start. 

[C.Biscuit97]

There are 2 dudes with this name!!! 🤯

 

I know Know nothing about oline play. What do the oline people think?

[John from Riverside]

He sounds better than saffold, immediate starter at right guard
 

I was looking at some other guys. This guy wasn’t even on my radar, but plenty of starting experience.

Wrong one, it's this one:

 

[DrDawkinstein]

Great first step!

[RyanC883]

now get the other McGovern and other Josh Allen.  

 

in all seriousness, seemed like there were better guard FAs available.  Hope this won't prevent us from drafting a great G/C in the 2nd if one is there.  

[gobills404]

Not my first choice but definitely a huge upgrade over Saffold.

From USA Today about his PFF grade:

 

"His 74.7 grade over the past two years ranks 13th among centers, his 69.8 pass-blocking grade places 16th and his 76.9 run-blocking grade comes in at 13th."

I’m pretty sure that’s about the Jets center with the exact same name

[Coach Tuesday]

GREAT signing.

[ColoradoBills]

He's a good young IOL who has had a number of injuries.  My hope is that those injuries end in Buffalo.

Good swing of the bat by Beane.

 it almost literally means that.  nobody else would pay more - or they would be there. 

But Contract details matter.  3/23 seems like a lot. But if it’s really 2/10 - it feels better

Is that the one that plays for the Jets?

Great move by Beane...

Totally overpaid for a dude who had a 52 PFF score. Yikes
