Davon Godchaux has perfect reaction to reported deal with Patriots

The New England Patriots added some much-needed talent with reported deals on Monday morning.

Bill Belichick brought in tight end Jonnu Smith on a huge deal, along with defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the Miami Dolphins. Godchaux has agreed to terms on a two-year, $16 million contract that’ll bring in $9 million guaranteed. He’s 26-years-old and brings much-need depth and youth to a position group that’s missing both.

During his four seasons with the Dolphins, Godchaux was used primarily as a run-stopper and he brings great value for that cause. He did suffer a bicep tear to end his 2020 season, but is expected to make a full recovery for 2021.

Although Tom Brady isn’t around anymore, Godchaux used one of the quarterback’s favorite phrases while tweeting his excitement to join the Patriots.
