Jaguars double down on defense, trade for Davon Godchaux
The Jaguars are ALL IN on 2026, adding further reinforcements to their defense
The Jacksonville Jaguars have extended their defensive reinforcements by acquiring New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Davon Godchaux in the days following their blockbuster trade for safety Jessie Bates III. In exchange for the veteran tackle, the Jaguars will send a 2028 sixth-round pick to New Orleans, with the possibility of upgrading the selection to a 2027 sixth-round pick through compensatory means.
Godchaux, a 31-year-old veteran known for his run-stuffing abilities, stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 330 pounds, providing a significant presence in the middle of the defensive line. Despite not having a remarkable pass rush, he is expected to contribute immediately in providing depth and physicality at a critical position for the team.
