The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and star wide receiver Chris Godwin have reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension, according to @RapSheet. The deal is worth $60 million in total, marking a major financial commitment to keep the Pro Bowl pass-catcher in Tampa Bay.
Per Ian Rapoport, the contract is a three-year deal described as "big-time money." The agreement comes after the Buccaneers originally placed the franchise tag on Godwin for the second consecutive season. This long-term extension provides the team with immediate salary cap relief while securing a primary offensive weapon for the foreseeable future.
Godwin has been a cornerstone of the Buccaneers offense since being drafted by the franchise. Despite suffering a season-ending knee injury late last year, the organization has moved quickly to ensure he remains a part of their core roster. The deal reportedly includes $40 million in fully guaranteed money at the time of signing.
