Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux was granted permission to seek a trade by the New England Patriots, NFL Network reported Wednesday.

Davon Godchaux's time with the New England Patriots may be coming to an end after four seasons. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday the AFC East team gave the defensive tackle permission to seek a trade ahead of the start of free agency.

The NFL offseason is underway, and the New England Patriots continue to make changes to their roster. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Patriots are shedding their roster of a veteran defensive lineman who started all 17 games last year.

The Patriots need to bolster their offense, especially at tackle. But one analyst believes Will Campbell is no longer the option.

One thing Vrabel stressed about his new quarterback Maye is "making sure that he’s not putting himself in harm's way when he doesn’t have to."

Granted, the Patriots should see an uptick when the planned $50 million practice facility (currently under construction) opens in 2026. Even with the new facility, NFL insider Albert Breer thinks the Krafts and Patriots organization needs to go deeper.

In CBS Sports' most recent mock draft, Ward and Sanders were projected to go No. 1 and No. 2, with the Patriots selecting Hunter at No. 4. As a result, one of the Patriots' top targets will still be available at No. 4.

After finishing with a 4-13 record, the New England Patriots left plenty of room for improvement heading into the offseason.

The New England Patriots could be in a position to revisit the failed 2024 trade attempt for San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (11) catches a pass between Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie (22) and safety Chamarri Conner (27). With a clear need at wide receiver, the Patriots are likely to be involved in most discussions surrounding wide receivers on the market.
