The Buccaneers don’t have much salary cap space to play with this offseason, which will make it difficult for them to retain all of the premier free agents they want to keep from hitting the open market.

Godwin clearly would prefer to stay in Tampa Bay long-term, but he wants to break the bank and it will be interesting to see how all of those factors balance out, and the result that eventually comes out of it
