New England Patriots starting defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, who enters the final year of his contract, said Friday that he's still seeking an upgraded deal.

"It's frustrating playing out here with no guaranteed money. I consider myself one of the dominant run players in the league," he said. "I just want some respect."

Godchaux, who turns 30 in November, is scheduled to earn a base salary of $7.15 million this season and has the chance to earn an additional $1 million in per-game roster bonuses.

He started all 17 games for the Patriots last season, playing 60% of the snaps and totaling 56 tackles and one sack.
