It has certainly been an eventful week for Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. After facing a series of rumors and speculation surrounding his potential move to the Cleveland Browns, Godwin has remained with the Bucs and is now being hailed as a reliable go-to target for quarterback Baker Mayfield.
The drama began earlier this week when Godwin was linked to a possible trade to the Browns. The situation seemed to move quickly, with reports surfacing that the Bucs had offered Godwin a four-year contract extension, only to be turned down in favor of a three-year deal with the Browns. However, the deal never materialized and it quickly became clear that the Buccaneers were determined to keep Godwin in the fold.
Now that the dust has settled, it appears that the Buccaneers and Godwin have finally struck a deal. Although the terms of the agreement have yet to be officially announced, it is understood that Godwin will remain with Tampa Bay and will soon be a key part of the team’s offense once again.
One of the most important elements of the deal is the fact that Godwin will now become a reliable target for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Despite the fact that Mayfield spent a large portion of his first two seasons in Cleveland, he is now beginning to make his mark in Tampa Bay. With Godwin now in the fold, it is likely that Mayfield will make full use of Godwin’s abilities as a pass catcher.
Godwin has already made a big impression in Tampa Bay, recording 733 receiving yards and five touchdowns during the 2020 season. His ability to create separation and make difficult catches means that Mayfield can rely on him in big moments, something that should prove invaluable as the Bucs look to make a push for the playoffs.
The relationship between Godwin and Mayfield will only grow stronger as the season progresses, and it is likely that the duo will become a formidable force in the coming months. Godwin has already stated that he is looking forward to working with Mayfield, and it is clear that he has high expectations for his new quarterback.
It is clear that the drama surrounding Chris Godwin has now come to an end, and he is now firmly established as Baker Mayfield’s go-to receiver. With the Buccaneers determined to keep Godwin in the fold, it is likely that the relationship between the two will only grow stronger as the season progresses. It will now be interesting to see how the duo performs in the coming weeks and months, as the Bucs look to make a push for the playoffs.
