I think Spotrac projects Godwin to get roughly 15-16 million per for 5 years.   That feels very un-Ballard-like.    But, thus is the craziest off-season, so who knows?

[Smoke317]

Just the last few games of the Bucs I’ve been watching, he’s dropped a lot of passes.  He catches a lot of them too and still puts up numbers, but I saw a lot of passes hit the ground.  He’s most likely better than anybody we’ve got on the roster.  But I think Campbell has a potential to be similar to Godwin if he can stay healthy.

Just read where Spotrac projected 4 yr, $68.8M. That's $17.2/yr. Pass!

I have a feeling that at least one other team is going to offer T.Y. more than Ballard is willing to match

 

same for Rhodes

Id rather let Hilton walk and get Samuel

I love Curtis Samuel and think he could be had on an affordable contract. 

[DaColts85]

I don’t want anything to do with Godwin personally. He has had a good few years but has had injuries plus a lot of drops. To me he just isn’t worth the cost at all. Give me a big body Allen Robinson who has great hands if you are spending that type of money. Plus saying you want him and TY just doesn’t make sense. 

[richard pallo]

He would be a great pickup and true WR1.  But I think he will resign with the Bucs.  Especially if there is no clarity on who our QB will be. 

[SR711]

While Godwin would be a nice addition, this rumor doesn't add up to me as I don't understand the point of paying big bucks to a free agent WR when our QB room and depth chart remains unsettled.  

 

Only way I see this being in play is if Ballard is somehow able to get an established vet (e.g Derek Carr, Matt Ryan) via trade prior to the start of free agency and the focus turns to loading up for an immediate SB run.  

[poilucelt]

sounds like Godwin may get tagged, and possibly is too expensive if Ballard is also considering another LT or CB

 

love the thought of Robinson, but wonder how interested he'd be in the Colts, given the team's current QB situation

[Zoltan]

Why would we add a receiver who gets injured often, is my question

I think we’re prepared to lose TYH.   But I don’t think we are with Rhodes.   I think this will be a real test for Ballard.

 

Ballard has said he has offered more to some free agents than he originally intended to.  But if the bidding keeps going up and uo, at some point he’ll bow out. 
 

I think Rhodes will be an interesting player to re-sign.

I think w/ Rhodes it might come down to whether GMs think his 2019 season was a fluke, or whether his 2020 season was.

[tweezy32]

We need to keep Rhodes at all costs in my opinion we are lacking at cb and don’t think we can afford to lose our best cb..

I just looked him up and he is maybe a low level WR1, high level WR2.  Not worth 17 mil or whatever they are quoting for him IMO

 

4 years in the league and he only has 1 season with a 1000 yards receiving and it wasn't even this season.

Do like Godwin as a replacement for Hilton and was going to offer him a 5 year $83 million deal without incentives.  Can you imagine a 2016-2019 reunion if we added Jameis Winston as our QB.  Sad too many focus on Winston's INTs over what he done as a starting QB.  Would even throw in a box of crab legs to sign Winston cheap.

[pgt_rob]

I'm thinking we're probably not going to get both Godwin and Hilton, right? I'd rather keep Hilton.

Samuel is only 24 and getting better every year. Hilton is on the 31 and on the decline.

We need acwr like smith or chase. Samuel is more a slot guy.

Comparing apples to oranges with a deep threat route runner vs a slot receiver.  The Colts are already set with Pascal and Campbell at the slot.  Unless the Colts are thinking that Campbell is our outside threat receiver and Pascal stays at the slot.  Issue with Campbell is his health and don't see him sticking around much longer.  Godwin at least is an outside threat receiver this team really could use to incorporate some youth going forward.  Hilton played very well last year and hope he resigns on a hometown discount.

[Top_Tier]

They need to let TY walk.  He's past his age apex.  Hopefully Ballard actually addressed the QB of the future, and that qb will need a young player to grow with.  Not someone on the decline.

After seeing yesterday's SB, I feel like Godwin needs the Bucs more than the Bucs needed Godwin, especially if Antonio Brown and Gronk come back. I am thinking we should be able to get Godwin at a decent price.

 

Shaq Barrett, Lavonte David, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette will be the top 4 priorities for the Bucs and if I am them, and if I can get AB and Gronk to come back for cheap, I would put the money on Barrett and David first. If their OL protects Tom, then I see Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller emerging more, the Bucs have options other than Godwin to be honest.

Godwin is a speedster that doesn’t run great routes. In a Arians (air Coryell) system last year he had a great year. Winston threw for a lot of yards but I doesn’t work IMO. Instead they get Tom and finally let him dictate some and he starts to shorten the field. Again Godwin to me is overrated and will want some serious coin and I would avoid it.
