Jaguars acquire defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from Saints ahead of trade deadline

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints in a move to strengthen their defensive line. This trade comes after the season-ending injury to DaVon Hamilton, who suffered a torn quad. Godchaux is known for his run-stopping ability and joins a defensive unit aiming to maintain its performance after Hamilton's departure. The Jaguars traded a 2028 sixth-round pick that could turn into a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for Godchaux. He is currently in a one-year contract valued at $650,000 and will become an unrestricted free agent next March unless extended.
