Reports: Bucs agree to deals with WR Chris Godwin, edge rusher Haason Reddick
TAMPA, Fla. — Chris Godwin is staying in Tampa Bay and two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick is joining the Buccaneers, according to multiple reports.
Godwin, who is returning from a gruesome ankle injury, is getting a three-year $66 million deal, including $44 million guaranteed, according to one person.
The 29-year-old had 50 catches for 576 yards in just seven games last season. He has teamed with Mike Evans to form one of the NFL’s top receiver tandems for the four-time defending NFC South champion Buccaneers.
Godwin averaged 87 catches for 1,065 yards and five touchdowns between 2019-23.
Reddick is getting $14 million for one year, including $12 million guaranteed. Before a holdout ruined his 2024 season with the New York Jets, Reddick had 27 sacks in two seasons in Philadelphia.
Reddick had double-digit sacks four straight seasons from 2020-23. He joins his fifth team in nine seasons.
The Buccaneers needed to upgrade their pass rush. Coach Todd Bowles said pressuring quarterbacks without having to blitz was a priority.
