TAMPA, Fla. – Two prevailing themes throughout Tampa Bay Buccaneers-related discussions among NFL executives, scouts and coaches at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis last week were:
1. The uncertainty at quarterback, which won’t be answered until at least March 14 when legal tampering kicks off.
2. Wide receiver Chris Godwin is too valuable to lose and cannot hit the open market.
“Chris is so valuable to what we do, and obviously we really, really want him back,” coach Bruce Arians said last week.
Godwin’s representatives met with the Buccaneers in Indianapolis, and both sides said those conversations were positive and that Godwin’s asking price was fair and reasonable.
