The New England Patriots are officially opening the door to the departure of veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux less than a year after signing him to a $18 million contract extension. Godchaux has been with the Patriots since 2021, coming to the team after a four year stint with the Miami Dolphins.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Patriots gave Godchaux permission to seek a trade on Wednesday afternoon, adding "There has been contract with interested teams and the veteran is likely on the move given the team's defensive scheme shift."
