Today, the New Orleans Saints added a veteran presence to their offensive line by signing ninth-year pro Connor McGovern off of the New York Jets practice squad. This was a corresponding roster move to the team waiving wide receiver A.T. Perry, which opened a slot on the 53-man roster.

McGovern, a former Denver Broncos fifth-round pick in 2016, started 91 games in his career at both guard and center. McGovern began his career primarily as a guard with the Broncos before transitioning to center in his last couple years with the team. In 2020, he signed a three-year contract with the Jets to start at the center for them. After starting the majority of his time there, injuries ended up catching up to him, leading to his demotion.

As for the Saints, they get a player who has a lot of experience on the interior and has connections to multiple members on the coaching staff as well. Saints’ senior offensive assistant Rick Dennison was the Broncos offensive coordinator when McGovern was drafted. Saints offensive line coach John Benton also worked with him on the Jets.

This familiarity should allow for McGovern to quickly integrate himself into the Saints offense and they’ll most certainly need him to with likely all of the starters on the interior out for Monday night’s game.
