"In what everyone considers a good move, the New England Patriots retained DeMarcus Covington as the Defensive Coordinator..."

- Not everyone.


"Godchaux doesn’t want to play under that risk of Training Camp & Pre-season games. I truly believe he is angling for a contract extension with guaranteed money. That’s a tough sell at league age 30..."

- I would guarantee most of his $7.15M for this season... But No extension.


Out of those listed as Defensive Lineman on Wikipedia, I would keep Barmore, Godchaux, Watts, Hill, Wise (DE/DT) & White (DE)... The rest - Eukalele, Roberts & Pharma - all suck.

In three years we will be reading a Pats History thread and saying to ourselves, "I don't remember Eukalele/Roberts/Pharma at all".

I like your six. A major issue for next year is to re-sign, extend or replace Godchaux and Wise, a tall order.

I always favor carrying a 7th, a biggie backup for Godchaux.
