Here are more fan reactions.

"That's a solid move for the Buccaneers. Goedeke's value is definitely on the rise," another fan commented.
"People saying over paid, are the fans of teams that have subpar linemen, top 5 line in both rushing and pass protection… you gotta pay to keep those guys," one fan tweeted.

Goedeke's deal has an average annual value of $22.5 million, making him the third-highest-paid right tackle. Only the Philadelphia Eagles' Lane Johnson and the Detroit Lions' Penei Sewell will earn more than him.

Luke Goedeke's career with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers drafted Luke Goedeke at No. 57 in 2022, and took the left guard spot after Aaron Stinnie tore his ACL in the preseason. He made 11 appearances in his rookie season before he was sidelined due to a foot injury.

Goedeke got to play at his desired position, right tackle, the following season, and featured in all of the team's games in the 2023 campaign. He missed four games last season due to a concussion.

Tampa Bay also extended left tackle Tristan Wirfs until 2029, giving the franchise a lot of depth at the tackle position for a long time.

The Buccaneers will visit the Atlanta Falcons for their season opener on Sunday. They are coming off a 10-7 campaign and were eliminated in the wild-card round by the Washington Commanders.
