Patriots reportedly give veteran defensive player permission to seek trade
Briefly

Davon Godchaux, a veteran defensive tackle for the New England Patriots, may be on the trading block as the team shifts its defensive strategy under new head coach Mike Vrabel. With the potential to save $6.7 million against the salary cap through a trade, Godchaux's role as a nose tackle may be less valued in this new scheme. Despite his reliability and steady performance over the past four seasons, his relatively high cap hit makes him a candidate for trade, especially given the Patriots' significant cap space.
