REPORT: Patriots sign DT Davon Godchaux to a two-year $20.8M extension

After their first day of Training Camp, the Patriots have extended DT Davon Godchaux to a two-year $20.8M deal, with $17.85M guaranteed.

This is a little surprising, now Godchaux did fine last year, and started 16 games of the season on defense, but I just wasn’t expecting an extension this early. My immediate thought is that this will create some cap space for the team, something which we should find out sometime later today/tomorrow from our friend over at @patscap on Twitter.

Godchaux gets rewarded well for playing both DT and DE last season, and clearly, he impressed the coaches enough to warrant a new deal with such a high guaranteed amount of money.

Patriots Tweets Of Note: Training Camp Day 1

Camp is back! This offseason has dragged along since the Draft in April, but finally, we have some football again. If you’re new here, Tweets Of Note breaks down Twitter posts of note from Pats reporters in attendance at Training Camp.

Mike D posted his obligatory training field photo early this morning, showcasing the beautiful weather over Foxborough for the first day of Training Camp.

Donning some new ‘BB’ shorts, Bill opened up his morning presser by confirming the day would be spent focusing on redzone work along with confirming that pads wouldn’t be worn until next Monday.

Not totally uncommon for the odd few players to try out on the opposite side of the ball early on in Camp, so something to watch as the days merge together on how Murray progresses on the offensive line.

Good start with no new absences for the first day, here’s hoping David Andrews, Jon Jones, Jabrill Peppers and others can get back on the field soon. Some questions still linger about James White and if he’ll be able to play a role at all this season.
