According to Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have granted DT Davon Godchaux permission to seek a trade.
Rapoport notes there are some interested teams and there’s a good chance some kind of deal comes together.
He notes the pending shift in New England’s defensive scheme with a new coaching staff coming in would have impacted Godchaux’s status on the team.
Godchaux, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2017 out of LSU. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.6 million rookie contract.
The Patriots signed Godchaux to a two-year deal worth up to $16 million, then signed him to a new two-year, $20.8 million extension after one season. Once again, Godchaux signed a two-year extension heading into the 2024 season worth up to $21 million.
In 2024, Godchaux appeared in all 17 games for the Patriots and recorded 67 total tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection.
We’ll have more on Godchaux as the news is available.
