Adding a big-ticket name at the wide receiver position is something that many New York Jets fans have been hoping the team would do in the 2022 offseason.
On Monday, the Jets’ chances of accomplishing that goal took a big hit.
Two of the Jets’ most realistic options are no longer available: Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (unrestricted free agent) and Calvin Ridley of the Atlanta Falcons (trade block).
The Buccaneers are expected to use the franchise tag on Godwin, per Tyler Dragon of USA Today Sports.
Bucs are expected to franchise tag WR Chris Godwin before Tuesday's deadline, per source.
