Chris Godwin has second-worst NFL contract, analyst highlights
Summary

Chris Godwin's contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been ranked as the second-worst in the NFL by Bleacher Report. Analyst Brab Gagnon noted that Godwin has not played in double-digit games for two consecutive seasons and his performance has declined significantly. As he approaches the 2026 season, Godwin's cap hit of $33.7 million makes him the highest-paid wide receiver. The Buccaneers would incur $16.2 million in dead cap if they choose to part ways with him in 2027.
