The Patriots signed Godchaux to a two-year extension worth up to $21 million Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The veteran defensive lineman has impressed over his last three seasons in New England, and he's now received his proper compensation. Godchaux appeared in 17 games in 2023 and tallied 56 total tackles for a Patriots defense that ranked third in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game (93.2 yards). The 29-year-old will receive $16.5 million in guaranteed money from 2025-2026, and he's expected to remain a stalwart on a stellar New England defense for years to come.
