Bucs Nation on Chris Godwin

Godwin's career-worst start and dead cap hit make a trade unlikely.

Chris Godwin is having a career-worst start to the 2026 season, failing to net 50 yards or more in any contest so far. While he still looks capable on the eye test, terrible quarterback play and a flawed scheme have deeply hindered him and the other Bucs receivers. His lack of production might make other teams hesitant to part with much in a trade, and trading him would save $15 million this season but accelerate $16 million in dead cap onto next year's books, making a trade unlikely despite fan speculation.
