Davon Godchaux Seeks Contract Extension from Patriots

Davon Godchaux, a defensive tackle for the New England Patriots, has voiced frustration over his contract situation, particularly the lack of guaranteed money. Despite participating fully in practice on Friday, Godchaux stressed that the absence was not contract-related but due to 'tightness.' He is in the final year of his deal, earning $7.15 million this season with no guaranteed money, leading to his discontent. Godchaux cited recent extensions for teammates and comparable players like Grover Stewart and Dalvin Tomlinson as benchmarks for his desired contract. He considers himself a dominant run defender and expressed a desire to retire with the Patriots, leaving negotiations to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Patriots have recently extended contracts for several players, including Jabrill Peppers, adding to Godchaux's frustrations.
