At the NFL trade deadline, the Washington Commanders made a significant move by acquiring four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints. In exchange, Washington sent third-, fourth-, and sixth-round picks in the 2025 draft to New Orleans and received a fifth-round pick along with Lattimore, pending his passing a physical examination.
Lattimore, aged 28, brings an immediate defensive boost to the Commanders, who currently hold a 7-2 record this season and are aiming to strengthen their unexpected playoff aspirations. He is expected to join Benjamin St-Juste and rookie Mike Sainristil at cornerback, forming a formidable secondary alongside safeties Jeremy Chinn and Quan Martin.
