One of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' biggest questions of the offseason has basically been answered thanks to a simple update.Per FOX Sports' Greg Auman, the Bucs and Chris Godwin agreed to move the void date of the three-year,

With Godwin, his impending void deadline was set to trigger $18MM in dead money against the team’s 2025 salary cap. Instead, the veteran wideout and team will have until the final day of the league year to figure out a new extension and avoid that dead money hit.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin didn't have the 2024 NFL season he hoped for, suffering a dislocated ankle that cost him more than half of the campaign. Godwin was in the final year of his contract with the Buccaneers and is set to become a free agent if the team can't lock him down

The Bucs have a big decision to make, and the window to make it just opened. All teams are now on the clock to use their franchise tag designation for any pending free agents they want to prevent from getting to the open market.

According to ESPN's Jenna Laine, "While sources told ESPN that the Bucs very much want Godwin back and they'll do what it takes to make this happen, it won't be on a franchise tag

Chris Godwin has played on the franchise tag once in his career, and receiving the tag the second time around was followed by a three-year deal. The veteran wideout is on track for free agency, but another Buccaneers agreement would come as no surprise.
