Tampa Bay Buccaneers General Manager Jason Licht Secures Chris Godwin for the Future

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have secured a key piece of their offense for the foreseeable future as general manager Jason Licht announced that star wide receiver Chris Godwin has agreed to a new 3-year, $66 million contract with the team.

Godwin, who was selected by Licht in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, has quickly become one of the league’s most consistent and versatile receiving threats. His work ethic, toughness, and playmaking ability have made him a fan favorite in Tampa Bay, and he has already established himself as the second best wide receiver in franchise history behind only Mike Evans.

Licht expressed his excitement about keeping Godwin in the fold, praising his leadership, work ethic, and versatility on the field. The fact that Godwin reportedly turned down more lucrative offers from other teams to stay with the Buccaneers is a testament to the strong bond between player and organization.

Buccaneers fans can rest easy knowing that Godwin will continue to be a key part of the team’s offensive core for the next few seasons. Stay tuned to BucsGameday for more coverage of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers throughout the 2025 offseason.
