Chris Godwin - Second consecutive franchise tag The Buccaneers placed the franchise tag on Godwin on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact For the second year in a row, Tampa Bay has tagged Godwin, meaning he'll be due $19.2 million in 2022 if the two sides are unable to come to terms on a long-term deal. Currently, he's in recovery mode from the torn ACL and sprained MCL that he sustained in his right knee back in Week 15. Due to the timing of the injury, Godwin's availability for Week 1 of next season is in question, as is who will be under center for the Bucs once he gets healthy following the retirement of Tom Brady this offseason.

Richard Sherman - Settles legal issues Sherman pled guilty Monday in King County (Wash.) Superior Court to two charges and an infraction stemming from a July 2021 arrest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The charges included negligent driving in the first degree and criminal trespass in the second degree, while Sherman also received an infraction for speeding in a roadway construction zone. The off-field concerns kept him away from football until the Buccaneers came calling in September in the midst of a number of injuries within their secondary. But hamstring, calf and Achilles issues of his own contained Sherman to five appearances, which translated to 11 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery. With his legal issues behind him, it remains to be seen if the soon-to-be 34-year-old will garner much interest on the free-agent market.

Chris Godwin - Franchise tag anticipated The Buccaneers are expected to use their franchise tag on Godwin (knee) prior to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

Impact Godwin, who is recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, looks like he will stick with Tampa Bay for the 2022 campaign under the team's franchise tag. That would mark the second consecutive year that Godwin has received the tag, so his salary would count $19.2 million against the cap. The tag may only serve as a placeholder for a long-term deal, however, as Dianna Russini of ESPN notes that the Buccaneers are still looking to work out an extension with Godwin. Through 14 appearances in the 2021 season, Godwin compiled career-high marks with 98 catches on 127 targets, which he translated into 1,103 yards and five touchdowns. While it's unclear whether Godwin will be at full strength to kick off the upcoming campaign, his ability to move the chains would doubtless prove a notable boon for whoever lines up under center for the Bucs in Week 1, with Tom Brady having retired.
