Chris Godwin’s Career and Achievements
Chris Godwin has been a standout player for the Buccaneers since being drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Over his career, he has made Pro Bowls and been named to an All-Pro team. In 2024, he was on pace for a career year before a season-ending ankle injury cut his momentum short. Godwin’s performance has been stellar despite the injury, with over 1,000 receiving yards in three consecutive seasons before 2024.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are Godwin’s current team, and many fans hope he will stay. However, with the emergence of rookie Jalen McMillan and the team’s salary cap constraints, it might be challenging for the Buccaneers to retain him. Godwin has expressed his love for the team and the city but may seek a larger payday elsewhere.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders are another potential destination for Godwin. With a need for a reliable wide receiver, the Raiders could offer Godwin a significant contract to bolster their offense. The team’s offensive coordinator, Liam Coen, has a history with Godwin from their time together in Tampa Bay, which could make the Raiders an attractive option.
