Jaguars add to trenches, make deal for Saints DT Davon Godchaux

The Jaguars stayed busy a day before the trade deadline, adding some help on the defensive line by dealing for Saints tackle Davon Godchaux on Monday afternoon.The Jaguars are sending a conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Saints to acquire Godchaux. “We feel strongly about Davon and what he can bring to the team both on and off the field,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said in a statement. “Much like Jessie [Bates], 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.”Adding help on the defensive front was a must after the team lost DaVon Hamilton to a season-ending leg injury. The reinforcements come in the form of Godchaux, a bit of a value addition in the trenches. Godchaux has played for the Dolphins, Patriots and Saints in an NFL career that began as a fifth-round pick out of LSU in 2017. At 6-3, 330 pounds, Godchaux will help fill the void of Hamilton as a run-stopping lineman.
