Connor McGovern signs with Buffalo Bills
3 years, $23 million is the contract. Buffalo sorely needed to upgrade the offensive line, and this is a great first step.
The #Bills have agreed to terms with G Connor McGovern on a three-year, $23 million deal, source says. Former third-round pick of the #Cowboys heading to Buffalo.

Jimmy Garoppolo signs with the Raiders
The deal is worth 3 year, $67.5 million. This move is fine, we guess, but he is a step down from Carr, so what is the plan?

Broncos sign Mike McGlinchey and Ben Powers
Denver seems to want to start to new era under Sean Payton with a good offensive line. Even with all of the crap Russel Wilson got last year, his line did not hold up. McGlinchey’s deal is 5 years, $87.5 million. Powers’s deal is 4 years, $52 million. Paying up big but for a need.

It is a 3 year, $33 million contract for Sutton. It seems like an overpay, but the Lions need secondary help in the worst way, we expect them to be in on Christian Gonzales in the draft as well.
