Tampa Bay WR Chris Godwin (ankle) will not need to rush back to the field since the team added WR Emeka Egbuka to the roster, according to general manager Jason Licht.
Huddle Up: Godwin probably will not do much during offseason workouts and could also miss some time at training camp because of his recovery, but the team does not want him to rush back. He is a big part of the passing game when healthy and will be a weekly fantasy option when he plays.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) is still on schedule in his recovery, and the team hopes he will be available for the start of the 2025 regular season, according to general manager Jason Licht.
Huddle Up: The Buccaneers selected Emeka Egbuka in the first round of the draft, but it seems his selection is not because of Godwin's timetable. Fantasy players should monitor his progress during the offseason because he is a weekly starting option in leagues when healthy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) continues to rehab the dislocated ankle he suffered around midseason last year, leading head coach Todd Bowles to tell reporters on Tuesday, April 1, that he is "hoping (Godwin) is on the field Week 1."
Huddle Up: Bowles made it clear he will have a better idea about Godwin's readiness for the season opener at the end of this month when the 29-year-old takes part in the team's offseason program. Godwin was vying with Ja'Marr Chase as the overall fantasy WR1 when he was lost for the season in Week 7, so his healthy return to the Bucs is no small matter. Fantasy managers should expect some drop-off from Godwin this year following offensive coordinator Liam Coen's departure to Jacksonville, but he should remain a solid WR2 at worst.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) is on track in his recovery from ankle surgery, according to general manager Jason Licht. "He's hitting all of his milestones," Licht said. "He's hitting all of his markers. He's where he's supposed to be."
Huddle Up: Godwin is no stranger to injuries, but he continues to be productive whenever he is available. Consider him a WR3 with WR2 upside.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin came close to leaving the team during free agency but took a hometown discount to return to the organization, so that they could fit other players under the salary cap, according to general manager Jason Licht.
Huddle Up: Multiple teams had expressed interest in Godwin this offseason, including one NFL club which "kept writing him blank checks," according to Licht, but he opted to return to the only organization he has ever played for in his eight-year career. Despite experiencing difficulty remaining healthy, Godwin should be viewed as a solid WR3 option for 2025 fantasy leagues.

Free-agent WR Chris Godwin agreed to a three-year, $66 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday, March 10. The deal includes $44 million guaranteed and incentives that could push his $22 million annually to $24 million per year.
Huddle Up: Godwin has had numerous season-ending injuries over the years, but he comes right back and returns to WR2/WR3 status. He'll be a WR3 option opposite of Mike Evans again this year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Chris Godwin will be "incredibly sought after" if he is not re-signed before the start of the new league year, and the New England Patriots are expected to bid handsomely for his services, according to Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal.
Huddle Up: Godwin is far and away the best and most accomplished receiver that could be available next week, so it would be no surprise if the Patriots start the bidding around $25 million per season and move up from there. While the Patriots would represent a step down from the Buccaneers initially, Godwin would give Drake Maye the receiving weapon that New England has lacked for a while. Considering how long Tampa Bay has had to get this done, Godwin's odds of a return are probably 50-50 at best. Regardless of whether the Buccaneers or Patriots secure his services, he should be a solid fantasy WR2 at worst in 2025.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent WR Chris Godwin is a player the New England Patriots are interested in this offseason but members of the organization do not believe he is leaving the Buccaneers, sources told The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan and Doug Kyed.
Huddle Up: Godwin likely will receive interest from several teams if he hits the free-agent market, but the Buccaneers seem to be the leading candidate for Godwin. He will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues next season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin "means the world" to the organization, according to general manager Jason Licht, who told reporters on Tuesday, Feb. 25, that the team moved back the voidable year deadline on his contract recently to increase the chances of getting a deal done before the start of free agency.
Huddle Up: Head coach Todd Bowles went so far as to say that the Bucs "want (Godwin) back here in every way possible." It seems reasonable to assume the two sides will get something done over the next week or so based on the comments from Bowles and Licht. Assuming that happens, it would throw a bucket of cold water on the Jalen McMillan hype train. Assuming Godwin re-signs and returns to pre-injury form, he should be considered a strong WR2/3 option in 2025.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) was limited to seven games in 2024, but his 82.3 receiving yards and 7.14 receptions per game ranked sixth and third in the NFL, respectively.
Huddle Up: Godwin has had his share of injuries over the years, but he has been productive when healthy, and he seemed to have a strong connection with Baker Mayfield. The injury risk is undeniable, but Godwin is worth the risk if you can grab him as your WR3.
