Chris Godwin, a 24-year-old veteran wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who is set to hit the free agent market in mid-March, revealed on Thursday that he has an opportunity to accept. The 2021 season will be played under the ‘franchise tag,’ according to a report from NFL Network. ( lisbon365 )
Godwin, who entered the league as a third-round draft pick in the 2017 class, is set to hit the free agent market in mid-March, although the 24-year-old outside wing is expected to land a long-term deal. But he is ready to accept the tag to play in the 2021 season because the Buccaneers have a limited salary cap that is a major obstacle to getting a long-term contract with Godwin.
‘Yes, I mean the way I look at it is similar to how many people like it. Clearly, we all want long-term stability. We all want to be able to care for our loved ones. So that’s the best situation. But you know, the franchise tag isn’t something I can control.’
