Patriots defensive tackle Davon Godchaux is headed to the New Orleans Saints in a trade that nets New England a 2026 seventh-round pick, according to multiple reports.
Godchaux, 30, was given permission to seek a trade in February less than a full year removed from a three-year extension he signed with the Patriots in July 2024. The contract includes base salaries of $4 million in 2025 and $5.5 million in 2026 and will be assumed by the Saints barring a restructure.
Godchaux played at LSU and was not an ideal fit for the gap-penetrating defense of new head coach Mike Vrabel.
A four-year starter for the Patriots who previously played for the Dolphins, Godchaux has 429 career tackles and 5.5 sacks in 120 career games (109 starts) for Miami (2017-20) and New England. The former fifth-round pick also has 26 quarterback hits.
