Patriots 'expected to be the driver' if Chris Godwin becomes a free agent
Briefly

Chris Godwin, Super Bowl champion with the Buccaneers, is a potential target for the Patriots as they look to improve their wide receiver corps. After a season cut short by injury, Godwin's market value is considerable, with predictions of high demand if he becomes a free agent. While there's a chance Godwin stays with Tampa Bay, the Patriots may pursue him aggressively despite the expected price tag that could exceed $25 million per year, reflecting their commitment to enhancing their receiving options for quarterback Drake Maye.
Godwin, 29, has played his entire career with the Buccaneers, recording 50 catches for 576 yards and five touchdowns before a season-ending injury.
Patriots expected to be the driver there. It's gonna cost more money than you would have thought (think in excess of $25 million per) despite the season-ending injury.
Vrabel has acknowledged the possibility of having to 'overpay' to get free agents in the short term. 'I like to shop like everybody else,' he stated.
There remains a 'very realistic' chance Godwin stays with the Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Sara Walsh regarding team history with their own free agents.
