With 26 year old wide receiver Chris Godwin slated to hit the free agency market in a little over two weeks, Bucs general manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians both spoke about Godwin to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine Tuesday afternoon.
Godwin played under the franchise tag last season and when asked if Godwin could be tagged for a second consecutive year Arians responded “I wouldn’t say it’s out of the question. Hopefully not, so we can do something else. I would love to get him under contract.” Sounds like the Buccaneers would prefer to get a long term deal done, but they aren’t ruling the franchise tag out completely.
