Penn State product Chris Godwin, expected to be one of the top free agent wide receivers on the market this offseason, instead will be back with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, as the team plans to put the franchise tag on him. That’s according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The franchise tag is projected to be $16.4 million for wide receivers.
Buccaneers informed WR Chris Godwin he is being franchise tagged, per source.
