The New Orleans Saints have reportedly traded Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a premium draft pick, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Tuesday (November 5) hours before the NFL trade deadline.
"Sources: The #Saints are trading Pro Bowl CB Marshon Lattimore to the #Commanders for a premium draft pick. Washington loads up," Rapoport wrote on his X account. "Full terms: -- Saints get: A third, a fourth, and the 6th from the Ridgeway trade. -- Commanders get: Marshon Lattimore and a 5th."
Lattimore was mentioned in trade rumors leading up to the deadline despite dealing with a hamstring issue that caused him to miss two games, including the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Lattimore recorded 30 tackles and two passes defensed in seven starts during the 2024 season. Lattimore is a four-time Pro Bowler and the 2017 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The Saints are currently on a seven-game losing streak, having started the season with a 2-0 record, which resulted in head coach Dennis Allen's firing on Monday (November 4). The Commanders are currently first in the NFC East Division standing amid the emergence of rookie phenom quarterback Jayden Daniels.
