The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will likely be forced to make some tough decisions this offseason as the franchise tries to position itself for another NFC South Championship and playoff run. The Buccaneers are coming off a disappointing Wild Card loss to the Washington Commanders and saw offensive coordinator Liam Coen depart to be the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
These are just the beginning of the changes for Tampa Bay with free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft on the horizon. One of the bigger moves coming down the pipe is the Buccaneers’ pursuit to keep star wide receiver Chris Godwin in pewter and red.
Godwin is up for free agency after his three-year/$60 million extension with the franchise expired at the conclusion of the season. The Buccaneers have already franchise tagged the veteran twice during his professional career and doing so a third time would prove to be very costly.
