Perry: Why Patriots should pursue a trade for Bucs' Chris Godwin

The New England Patriots have made several investments at wide receiver this offseason, signing K.J. Osborn in free agency and adding Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in the 2024 NFL Draft with picks No. 37 and 110, respectively.

But they still lack an elite veteran wide receiver. Which is where Chris Godwin could come in.

While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't made Godwin publicly available for trade, the 28-year-old wideout is entering the final year of his contract, and the Bucs may not have the resources to keep him beyond this season after handing Pro Bowler Mike Evans a two-year, $52 million contract.
