Godwin reportedly took a pay cut because he wanted to continue playing with his Bucs teammates like Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield. The paycut was also for Godwin to thank the franchise for supporting and showing faith in him despite his injuries.

He has been a part of the Buccaneers since 2017 and has won a Super Bowl with the team in 2021. Tampa Bay fans are anticipating his return to the gridiron.
