Teams consider Saints defensive linemen Godchaux and Shepherd ahead of trade deadline

Summary

As the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 10, teams seeking defensive line help are inquiring about New Orleans Saints players Nathan Shepherd and Davon Godchaux. The Saints, not in contention to buy, may sell off veterans as they look to rebuild their roster. The Vikings, Jaguars, and Giants have shown interest in acquiring additional depth at defensive tackle. Godchaux, who joined the Saints for a seventh-round pick, could return similar compensation, while Shepherd may require a higher asking price. Any trades could free up playing time for younger players on the Saints' roster.
