Nov 5, 2024, 06:03 PM

The New Orleans Saints have traded four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders, who are currently leading the NFC East with a 7-2 record. The Commanders strengthen their secondary as they make a playoff push. In return, the Saints receive a package of draft picks, including a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick, while also sending a fifth-round pick to Washington. The Saints had multiple teams interested in Lattimore, including the Kansas City Chiefs. Lattimore, 28, has been a key player for the Saints but has missed 20 of their last 60 games due to injuries. The trade results in significant dead cap hits for the Saints, adding to their salary cap challenges.
