Winfield had a $21 million base salary that was shifted to a minimum salary and bonus, with the Bucs also adding a void year. He signed a four-year, $84.1 million contract last offseason and now Tampa Bay frees up $15.86 million in cap space for 2025 by restructuring a contract that ends in 2027. The Bucs also restructured WR Mike Evans' contract, though it was not for any cap savings. Evans had some compensation moved forward to pay him sooner, but cap space was not created.
Evans agreed Wednesday to restructure his contract, converting part of his base salary into a bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

"I'm feeling very good about it," Licht told a Tampa Bay radio station. "He's where he's supposed to be. We're not going to try to set any records for the fastest rehab because we want to make sure everything's done right and just get him out there for the regular season. Right now, we're taking it week by week. I've said this time and time before, but I would never bet against Chris." Godwin dislocated his ankle in Week 7 of last season. It wouldn't be ridiculous if he were ready for the regular season this year, but he'll likely still be ramping up in training camp at the very least. It will be a situation to monitor for fantasy drafts as a delayed Godwin start could get Jalen McMillan and Mike Evans more involved with the offense early. We wouldn't make too much of how optimistic Licht sounds as this prime lying about injuries season, but we'd bet Godwin has a solid chance to be ready for Week 1.
