I think it would be pretty common for a player to want to tell the public if he was going to be ready for the season, but you're right that if he doesn't that doesn't necessarily mean anything. However, Godwin is a prospective free agents and other teams in the NFL need to know. If you don't tell them, that does mean something. And if you tell them, then you'd think it would leak out. But it hasn't so perhaps it's just that the whole NFL is good at keeping stuff secret (Gruden might disagree).I didn't say Godwin should be negotiating his contract in the press. Just the injury status
You're assigning a negative to public silence that is pretty common, especially BEFORE free agency
Godwin on another team wont be as good, as he will be here. He is well respected, loved and a focal point. On another team he will be making a big mistake as a lot of other free agent wr's, the scheme isnt the same the production isnt the same and the same respect isnt there.
This is simply not true.
The most obvious example would be JAX.
Same system he was in last year. Same role as he had last year (playing the #2 with an Alpha at #1).

again, you're equating fan knowledge with team knowledge and i think thats just a mistake
you could be right, but I guess we will see
Another team may not do that, think of how Canales schemed him up playing more of the tyler lockett role.
exactly
I agree with DH that Jax is an obvious exception, but also agree with you that the. Bucs have the inside lane because he should want to stay here, most other things being equal
Legal tampering starts at noon tomorrow. Void date is March 12th at 4PM when the Bucs have to take the cap hit on Godwin's void money. Godwin's agent has no reason at all to sign anything until sometime on March 12th prior to 4PM. There will be offers coming in at exactly noon on Monday and from the sound of it there will be some good ones. Why not sit back and see what comes in before agreeing to anything with the Bucs? That's probably why nothing has come to fruition, and probably won't until Wednesday.
Trask - there is always a lot of posturing but if you take this as true there is your sign he is healthy for 2025
"Dianna Russini of The Athletic twittered last night that Godwin’s goal (read: his agent’s goal) has always been to see what other teams may offer"

The best risk/reward player always comes down to cost.
Reddick and Judon are old so they're the cheapest I'd guess.
I'll take any of them over our current edge rushers but none of these guys get me excited.
Haason Reddick
1 year, $14M - pretty good deal.
Turns out, signing an edge rusher didn't prevent the team from signing Godwin.
Another successful offseason for the OP.
I'm fine with it but my expectations are low for Reddick.
Bruce Arians ties I'm sure helped
