As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter a new era with new head coach Bruce Arians, several players may be on the chopping block or trade market as he may want to bring in his own players to fit his system. Not to say that receiver Chris Godwin isn’t capable of performing with Arians, but it still makes sense for the Cleveland Browns to trade for him.

After all, former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Munken now serves under the same role with the Browns, which is a huge reason this trade could actually happen. Factor in that the Browns still need a legitimate No. 1 receiver opposite of Jarvis Landry, and the trade almost becomes a no-brainer (assuming the Buccaneers cooperate).

In this scenario, the Browns give up their 2019 third-rounder for Godwin, who’s coming off a stellar sophomore campaign. The second-year wideout racked up 59 receptions for 842 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018, all while navigating the Tampa Bay quarterback carousel, in which Jameis Winston started nine games and Ryan Fitzpatrick started seven games.

Godwin may not have served as the No. 1 option in Tampa Bay, but he looks to be more than capable of handling that role in Cleveland, especially with an offensive coordinator who knows the ins and outs of his skill sets.
