What happened: The New Orleans Saints agreed to send Davon Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The veteran defensive tackle joins Jacksonville to reinforce the interior defensive front.
Why it matters: Jacksonville holds the AFC No. 3 seed at 6-2 and continues adding defensive reinforcements for the second half of the season. New Orleans sits at 3-5 through eight games, leading the front office to move veteran depth.
By the numbers: Godchaux has made 14 tackles in 2026 through 7 games. The Jaguars are 6-2 in 2026 through 8 games, while the Saints are 3-5 in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Both clubs face the Tuesday deadline to finalize any remaining roster transactions. Godchaux will undergo standard intake and physical examinations before joining team practices.
