With this extension, the reliable slot receiver remains a key piece in Tampa Bay’s offensive arsenal.

Godwin, now entering his eighth NFL season with the Buccaneers, saw his 2024 campaign cut short due to a dislocated ankle suffered in the Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Before the injury, he was enjoying a career-best season, leading the league in receptions (50), first-down catches (30), and yards after the catch (324). He also shared the top spot in receiving touchdowns (5), ranked second in catch percentage (81.1% with a minimum of 25 targets), and was third in total receiving yards.

Projected over a full season, Godwin was on pace for nearly 1,400 receiving yards, which would have marked a personal best. Thriving in his primary slot role, he capitalized on free releases and two-way routes, setting the tone for Tampa Bay’s passing attack.

A third-round draft pick out of Penn State in 2017, Godwin has cemented himself as one of the most productive receivers in Buccaneers history. He ranks second in franchise records for receptions (579), receiving yards (7,266), and touchdown catches (39), trailing only longtime teammate Mike Evans.
