Davon Godchaux is excited about his next chapter.
The New England Patriots on Monday morning reportedly agreed to trade Godchaux to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The Patriots signed Godchaux to a fairly expensive contract extension last summer, but the veteran defensive tackle reportedly was given permission in late February to seek a trade.
While the Saints are coming off a 5-12 season, Godchaux was thrilled to be sent to New Orleans. The 30-year-old is about to be back in very familiar surroundings, as he was born and raised in the Baton Rouge area and played collegiate football at LSU.
