The Jaguars weren’t done trading when they swung a deal to acquire safety Jessie Bates on Monday morning.
Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports that they have also agreed to a trade with the Saints for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. Other reports indicate a 2028 sixth-round pick will head back to New Orleans.
Bates is joining the team in a trade with the Falcons for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection.
Godchaux appeared in all eight Saints games this season and he made five starts before moving into a reserve role for the last three contests. He had 15 tackles and a tackle for loss in those appearances.
Godchaux was in his second season with the Saints. He previously played for the Patriots and Dolphins. He and Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile overlapped with the Dolphins during the 2020 season.
