NFC playoff favorite emerges as ‘real contender’ in Marshon Lattimore trade talks

Here’s some movement. CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports that the Washington Commanders have “emerged as a real contender” in trade talks for New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The former four-time Pro Bowler has been at the center of negotiations with multiple teams before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, but Washington may be best-positioned to cut a deal.

The Commanders own two picks in 2025’s third round, including a high choice coming back from the Miami Dolphins (which they got from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for wide receiver Jahan Dotson). If the Saints are smart, they’ll push to bundle that early third rounder with multiple late-round picks, replacing assets they’ve traded to other teams in Rounds 6 and 7.

Washington has surprised the NFL world by jumping out to a 7-2 start this season, led by playmaking rookie  quarterback Jayden Daniels. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn knows Lattimore well after playing against him as the former Atlanta Falcons head coach, and he could be the piece that puts them over the top. Stay tuned.
