After signing a three-year, $66 million contract to stay in Tampa Bay, Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin says he was "really close" to leaving the organization during free agency.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers say they're reinstating former coach Jon Gruden into their ring of honor. The move comes less than four years after they removed him from the ring over his use of racist, homophobic and misogynistic language in emails to an NFL executive while he was a television analyst.

Chris Godwin should count less against the Bucs ' 2025 salary cap than he would if he'd left. Would have counted $18.9 million in dead money if he hadn't re-signed, and should be closer to $13 million now,
