Jaguars Add to Trenches, Make Deal for Saints DT Davon Godchaux, Reports

Multiple NFL insiders said the Saints sent the veteran defensive tackle to Jacksonville for draft compensation as New Orleans begins a possible deadline sell-off.

  • On Monday, November 9, 2026, the Jacksonville Jaguars acquired defensive lineman Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints, marking the team's second trade of the day ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
  • Primary nose tackle DaVon Hamilton suffered a season-ending quad injury during Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts, prompting Jacksonville to seek experienced defensive depth to fill the void.
  • The Jaguars are sending a 2028 sixth-round pick to New Orleans, with the selection potentially shifting to 2027 based on conditions; Godchaux has recorded 487 career tackles across 145 games as a 10-year veteran.
  • Third-Year pro Khristian Boyd is expected to see increased playing time for New Orleans as the team prioritizes younger talent, signaling a broader roster rebuild strategy.
  • Earlier on Monday, the Jaguars also traded for Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III to bolster their secondary, completing two major acquisitions with less than 24 hours until the Tuesday, November 10 deadline.
