  "account": "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently inked veteran wide receiver Chris Godwin to a three-year, $66 million contract, a move that has been deemed one of the worst in franchise history. Sources reveal that Godwin actually turned down an even larger offer from the New England Patriots, reportedly worth $90 million. Max Dible of Heavy suggests that a trade deal could still be possible prior to Tuesday's NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET, with the Bucs potentially sending Godwin to the Patriots in exchange for a Day 3 pick. While Godwin still possesses some talent, he is 30 years old and has recently dealt with injuries during the past two seasons. Furthermore, the Buccaneers owe Godwin $20.5 million in base salary plus a club option for 2027, a move that appears unlikely. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield, who is set to return, has recently been hindered by a thumb injury and has completed just 7-of-14 pass attempts over the last two games. The Patriots, who are in need of additional wide receiver support due to injuries and drop issues affecting AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs, may be willing to negotiate around one Day 3 pick to acquire Godwin.",
