Connor McGovern Restructured

[BillsFanForever19]

The cap space clearing has begun.

 

$3.74m saved. Should bring us to about 37.5m over now - if Spotrac's number of 41.24m over is accurate

 

There was a release from the NFLPA that said we were about 36.7m over. Idk if that already factored in the McGovern restructure or not.

 

So we're either at 33m over in the best case now or 37.5m at the worst.

 

EDIT: Spotrac has updated our Cap Figure factoring in the McGovern deal and does now put us at 37.5m Over.

And the first domino falls.  Good move, he was a good signing.

[Doc Brown]

It sent a question of if this move was going to happen.  It was a question of when.

Now we almost have enough for a beer at the new stadium.

He is one of the obvious restructures. Nice to see it moving along.

Half of the $ we can use to pay King Henry🤭

Good move. McGovern will be here for a while. Keep them coming. 

[Mark Vader]

That's one, now who's next?

 

Beane always gets this done during Combine week.

Void years carry cap hits of 4.8M, 1.87M, and 935K in '26, '27, and '28 respectively. But if we extend his contract through any of those years we don't take any dead money hits.

 

An Ed Oliver restructure is likely to be reported next.

Never see Beane clapping.  Someone needs to update eye glasses prescription.

It was predicted (The athletic) that we could save 3.12 on a McGovern restructure.  3.74 is better.

I miss the “cash to cap” days 🙄😂….(kidding of course) 

[78thealltimegreat]

I remember cowboys fans telling me they didn’t want to lose the guy despite when he signed here a few people weren’t exactly that excited about it.

Boy where they right this kid is just a flat out rock solid OG and going to be playing for a long time. 

[SoCal Deek]

Must be a decent length line of players and their agents queued up in the corridor outside of Beane’s office. 

[Richard Noggin]

He can play OC, right? Super valuable interior flex. 

 

The OL is well-compensated with the left siders both on 2nd tier 2nd deals, a top-ish tier OC (and RFA-matched year 3/4 OC backup), and two Day Two rookie right-siders. That's a LOT of cap tied up in the top-6 OL...which is timeless roster management until you watch KC's banged-up, mediocre, highly-penalized OLs ring up ZERO holding penalties in their last three Super Bowls. (I know holding calls are WAY down in general during SBs (only 7 in last 6 games)...but when you realize the Chiefs have been in half the SBs covered here without being penalized at all, it becomes immediately obvious that they are being favored, statistically, significantly.

 

The infuriating eye test on the most recent San Fran SB pass rush issues against KC blockers is pretty damning on its own.

Alright time for pay cuts from a few on the offense.  Maybe Knox, Morse...
