The Patriots have given veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux permission to seek a trade, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Godchaux was mentioned as a trade candidate before the 2024 trade deadline, but he indicated a preference to stay in New England after signing a two-year extension in July. That seems to have changed in recent weeks, possibly because new head coach Mike Vrabel is expected to install his own defensive scheme. That could lead to a reduced role for Godchaux, who has played in all 68 games since signing with the Patriots in 2021.
There are a few teams interested in Godchaux, per Rapoport, though he’s unlikely to fetch significant draft capital on the trade market. The 330-pound nose tackle is a proven run-stopper but offers little pass-rushing upside with just 5.5 career sacks in 120 total appearances.
More to come.
