Popular trade target
OGDallas Cowboys
August 20, 2021
A number of teams have inquired about trading for McGovern, but the Cowboys remain adamant about holding onto him, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dallas views McGovern as a starter despite his current status as a reserve, as the team has four viable options competing for three spots on the interior offensive line. It's possible someone will blow the Cowboys away with an offer they can't refuse, but if not, McGovern should remain part of America's Team heading into the season.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Drafted in the third round in 2019, McGovern missed all of his rookie campaign due to a pectoral injury but started eight games last year while plugging holes along a battered Cowboys offensive line. The Penn State product will likely slot into a depth role this season, but he could push Connor Williams for the starting role at left guard.
