The New York Jets re-signed center Connor McGovern. The move Monday addressed one of the team’s major needs before the NFL draft this week. McGovern has been the Jets’ starting center the past three seasons and he has started 48 games and missed only two since signing as a free agent in 2020. Contract terms weren’t immediately available. McGovern was the only player on the Jets last season to take every snap on offense and the first to do so since 2018. McGovern was drafted by Denver in the fifth round out of Missouri in 2016. He signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Jets in 2020.
