Many fans believe this is the offseason in which the New Orleans Saints will finally be forced to confront their extremely inflexible salary cap situation. Actions do have consequences after all, right? Well, general manager Mickey Loomis is not quite ready to face them, as evidenced by his latest move. The team has agreed to a trade with the New England Patriots to acquire veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Saints are sending a 2026 seventh-round draft pick to Foxborough in exchange for the 30-year-old. Godchaux is a Plaquemine, Louisiana native and played three seasons for the LSU Tigers, so he should receive a warm homecoming from the community.
