Overview

  • The extension is worth $90 million over four years with $50 million guaranteed and an average annual value of $22.5 million.
  • Goedeke is now under contract through the 2029 season, pairing with left tackle Tristan Wirfs, who is signed through 2030.
  • At $22.5 million per year, the contract slightly tops Zach Tom’s recent deal and places Goedeke among the NFL’s highest‑paid right tackles.
  • A 2022 second‑round pick, Goedeke moved from left guard to his natural right tackle spot in 2023 and posted consecutive Pro Football Focus grades of 73 or better, missing four games in 2024 due to a concussion.
  • The agreement arrives days before the final year of his rookie contract, reflecting the Buccaneers’ strategy of retaining and developing their offensive‑line core.
