Just one day before the NFL trade deadline, the New Orleans Saints have made a move, trading defensive tackle Davon Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2028 6th-round pick.
Godchaux joined the Saints in March 2025 after being acquired in a trade with the New England Patriots, which included a seventh-round draft pick to New England in exchange for the veteran
defensive tackle.
A Louisiana native and former LSU standout, Godchaux returned home after spending four seasons with the Patriots. Originally selected by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Godchaux has established himself as a reliable run defender throughout his NFL career.
The trade makes sense for Jacksonville, as the Jaguars look to reinforce their defensive interior following a season-ending torn quad injury to DaVon Hamilton.
