Luke Goedeke will remain a Tampa Bay Buccaneer in the long term.On Wednesday, the defending NFC South champions announced that they had extended their starting right tackle for four years and $90 million. The decision aligns Goedeke with his left-side counterpart Tristan Wirfs, who had signed a five-year, $141 million extension during the 2024 offseason.Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield congratulated Goedeke in a presser:"He's an unbelievable tackle, and he's a guy that sets the tone for our team. He's one of those guys that will not stop until (either) the whistle is blown or somebody pulls him off. So it's great to have a guy like that in the room, and he deserves that."However, he also joked about Goedeke's frugality, something that the tackle embraced in his own media availability.“Hopefully, he can pay off the loan for his window tint he got," Mayfield said. "He’s probably the cheapest guy I know.”Goedeke, meanwhile, admitted to staging "coups" to avoid having to pay his fellow linemen's fines:"That’s strictly because there’s a lot of bias, and I felt shackled to the fine board. There’s bias towards me where I’m racking up these unnecessary fines, whereas other guys are not getting fined."Luke Goedeke reflects on how positional change has advanced his careerThere is one interesting factoid about Luke Goedeke: he did not start his career as a right tackle. Instead, he initially played as a left guard and admittedly struggled, even being benched at certain points.His debut coincided with Tom Brady's final season, and the Buccaneers went 8-9 - the only time the legendary quarterback had a losing record as a starter. Then, 2023 happened.Brady retired, and Baker Mayfield took his place. The Buccaneers also drafted another guard, Cody Mauch, allowing Goedeke to move to the outside, where he thrived. The team went 9-8 and won another division title. Then they went 10-7 in 2024."One of the big takeaways that I learned from that was that God always has a plan for you and whether you lose a rep, it was meant to happen, and you learned something from it," Goedeke said. "I took an approach that way and started elevating my game from there."He also reflected on his friendship with Tristan Wirfs and how it has shaped his career:"He means the world to me. Heck, if he didn't switch to left tackle, I do not know where I would be today. I may be on a different team or still be at left guard. Very thankful for him... I love Tristan to death."The Buccaneers begin their 2025 season on the road against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 7. Kickoff is at 1 pm on Fox.
