Bucs signing Tom Brady may make things awkward for Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin may find himself in an awkward situation should the team sign QB Tom Brady in free agency.

Leagues around the world may be putting things on hold right now because of the coronavirus pandemic, but as of now, NFL free agency is still set to begin next week.

For the first time in ages, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may actually be big-time players in the market, with a chance of landing the greatest quarterback in NFL history in Tom Brady. Several experts believe the Bucs can offer Brady a great chance to win now given their experienced head coach and the fact they have one of the league’s most high-powered offenses, led by wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Both Evans and Godwin eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark last season, so adding a guy like Brady could potentially make this Tampa Bay offense even better, which is a scary thought for the rest of the NFL.

But, if Brady were to sign with the Bucs, it might make things a bit awkward for Godwin. Why? Well, because he currently dons the No. 12 jersey Brady has made famous and a part of his TB12 brand.

And, it’s not like Godwin just chose the number at random when he was drafted by the Bucs in 2017. He wore the number at Middletown High School in Delaware and at Penn State.

While I’m sure Brady would be more than willing to rent the number from the Bucs’ star wideout for a season or two, he’d have to make him a pretty sweet offer, especially when you consider Godwin’s star is on the rise.

Fortunately, I’m sure Brady can afford it.
