Buccaneers Re-Sign Chris Godwin to Three-Year, $66 Million Deal

The wide receiver, coming off a season-ending ankle injury, chose to stay in Tampa Bay despite higher offers elsewhere.

Chris Godwin agreed to a three-year contract worth $66 million, with $44 million guaranteed, to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 29-year-old wide receiver turned down more lucrative offers, including one from the New England Patriots, to stay with the team that drafted him in 2017.
Godwin’s 2024 season was cut short by a dislocated ankle, but he led the league in receptions (50) and was among the top players in receiving yards and touchdowns before the injury.
Godwin has been a consistent performer throughout his career, recording four 1,000-yard receiving seasons and playing a key role in the Buccaneers' 2020 Super Bowl victory.
The Buccaneers also signed pass rusher Haason Reddick to a one-year, $14 million deal as part of an active start to free agency.
