Buccaneers’ Goedeke signs extension, per reports

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have built one of the top offensive lines in the NFL with early-round investment in multiple drafts.

Today, they secured one of their top players for the long term.

Tampa Bay and right tackle Luke Goedeke have agreed to a four-year extension worth $90 million, per multiple reports. The Buccaneers selected Goedeke in the second round, No. 57 overall out of Central Michigan in the 2022 NFL Draft.

He split time between left guard and right tackle as a rookie before settling in as the starter at right tackle in 2023 after Tristan Wirfs moved to left tackle. That duo has become one of the better tackle tandems in the league. Pro Football Focus graded Goedeke 30th and Wirfs ninth out of 140 qualifying tackles in 2024.

Goedeke was entering the final year of his rookie deal this season. Now Tampa Bay has him signed through the 2029 NFL season.

Luke Goedeke contract details

Goedeke signed a four-year extension worth $90 million with $50 million guaranteed and an average annual value (AAV) of $22.5 million. That’s similar to the extension fellow 2022 draftee Zach Tom signed with the Green Bay Packers earlier this offseason but with more guaranteed money than his $30.2 million, per OverTheCap.

Here’s the breakdown:

Length: Four years
Total value: $90 million
AAV: $22.5 million
Guaranteed: $50 million

Among all tackles, this extension puts Goedeke eighth in total value, tied for 10th in AAV and tied for fourth in guaranteed money, per OverTheCap.
