Bucs projected to lose Chris Godwin in free agency in 2025

The former Penn State wide receiver has played his entire career with the Bucs but his contract is set to expire at the end of the season. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, like any team, will have some tough decisions to make in 2025. Some of those decisions will include a tough decision on a fan favorite and one of the best players on the team, Chris Godwin. The former Penn State wide receiver has played his entire career with the Bucs, but his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

In a recent article, Bleacher Report projects that Godwin will join a new team in 2025.

In their article, Bleacher Report projects that Godwin will, in fact, join another quarterback who has a loaded wide receiver room to work with. They see Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears going after the veteran pass catcher and moving on from Keenan Allen to make room.

This would make the wide receiver a needy position for the Bucs as they look for help alongside Mike Evans. The free agency class and 2025 NFL Draft are loaded at these positions, so they could be found if the team cannot or does not re-sign Godwin.
