With the 2021 NFL offseason now in full swing, dominoes are starting to fall into place for the defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers. Earlier this week, they announced their decision to franchise tag Chris Godwin. Then, that same day, they agreed to terms on a new contract for longtime defensive captain Lavonte David. And with the 2021 salary cap now officially set, Jason Licht, Mike Greenberg and their staff know exactly what they have to work with in the coming weeks and months.
Of course, the focus between now and the start of the new league year will be on contract talks with free agents from the 2020 championship team.
