JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired DT Davon Godchaux (duh-VAHN GOD-chaw) from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a conditional sixth-round selection, pending a physical, the team announced today.
"We feel strongly about Davon and what he can bring to the team both on and off the field," said Jaguars General Manager James Gladstone. "Much like Jessie, he has been a productive player in this league for a number of years and provides stability up front to further solidify our defensive line."
Godchaux, 31, is in his 10th NFL season after originally entering the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick (178th overall) by the Dolphins in 2017. In 145 career games (128 starts) with the Dolphins (2017-20), Patriots (2021-24) and Saints (2025-26), he has totaled 487 tackles, 27 quarterback hits, 23 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. A native of Plaquemine, La., Godchaux played collegiately LSU.
