Commanders trading for Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore

The Washington Commanders need help at cornerback. At 7-2 and leading the NFC East, the Commanders have a dominant offense led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Washington currently ranks in the top five of most offensive categories.

Now, defensive help is on the way.

Seeking help at cornerback, general manager Adam Peters has made a bold move, trading for New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

The Commanders currently have Emmanuel Forbes, Benjamin St-Juste, rookie Mike Sainristil, Noah Igbinoghene and Michael Davis at corner. Forbes, the 2023 first-round pick, rarely plays, leaving St-Juste, Sainristil, and Igbinoghene logging most of the minutes at cornerback.

Lattimore, 28, is a four-time Pro Bowler with 15 career interceptions. He is currently out dealing with a hamstring injury, which doesn’t appear serious.

Lattimore, who played at Ohio State, joins a Washington team with three former OSU teammates: WR Terry McLaurin, DE Jalyn Holmes and WR Noah Brown.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reveals the compensation involved for Lattimore.

Lattimore has two years remaining on his contract after the current season.
