Of course, Godwin, the Pro Bowl receiver with the Bucs allegedly passed up on a Brink’s truck to stay with the Bucs. Jeffri Chadiha explained why Godwin picked stability over finances.

Godwin chose to remain with a Tampa Bay team that has been rolling offensively — the last two coordinators, Dave Canales and Liam Coen, have landed head-coaching jobs over the last two years — and should continue to excel with most of its key players returning.

Joe has to think that new Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard won over Godwin, maybe not by words but by his actions last season as former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen’s right-hand man.

If Godwin wasn’t impressed with Grizzard or thought Grizzard was a bad choice to succeed Coen, would Godwin have stayed with the Bucs? At an alleged discount?

Godwin sure seemed to suggest he felt good about Grizzard when Godwin spoke earlier this month.

“I think [Grizzard’s offense is] going to be a big advantage for us – not just me but for us as an offense, so I’m excited about it.”

If Godwin didn’t care for Grizzard or he sensed the offense wouldn’t produce under Grizzard, it’s hard to reconcile that Godwin wouldn’t have left.

Actions speak louder than words and Godwin’s decision to stay with the Bucs at an alleged discount was as much a nod of approval for Grizzard as it was Godwin’s desire to stay in his second hometown.
