Tampa Bay will look to achieve something similar with Godwin, though the chances of getting Godwin at a team-friendly rate may be slim by next year if he plays with the efficiency he demonstrated last season. He was also the top Buccaneers receiver in terms of yards per target (10) and ranked among the best wideouts in the NFL by advanced efficiency metrics. Tampa has quickly gotten used to the taste of victory and the Godwin situation is one that could eventually prove to be a win-win for player and franchise.
