Marshon Lattimore was often thrown out as a potential trade piece for at least a year before the New Orleans Saints actually traded their star cornerback to the Washington Commanders.
Lattimore hasn’t played since being traded, but he’ll make his debut in a Commanders uniform in Week 15.
While some players may downplay what this game means, Lattimore put it all out in the open. He went as far as to say he’d be lying to say making his debut against the Saints doesn’t mean more than if it were any other team.
Any time a player plays his former team, fans will label it a revenge game. That term is usually just fan discussion and in jest.
This isn’t just within the fan base. This is a true revenge game, at least from Lattimore’s side. His comments ahead of the Week 15 matchup confirms at Lattimore views this as a revenge game. He told reporters, “They traded me away. I’m going back to show why they shouldn’t have.”
There was documented tension between Lattimore and, then head coach, Dennis Allen. Despite the change at head coach, Lattimore still enters this week with a chip on his shoulder.
