The Patriots granted Godchaux permission to seek a trade, a source confirmed to the Herald on Wednesday. NFL Media was first to report the news. Godchaux signed a two-year contract extension last offseason that has yet to kick in.

Patriots starting defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, who has two years left on his deal, has been given permission to seek a trade, sources confirmed to ESPN.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have granted the veteran defensive tackle permission to seek a trade this offseason. “There has been contact with interested teams, and the veteran is likely on the move given the team’s defensive scheme shift,” Rapoport noted on X.
