The Washington Commanders are boosting their secondary by getting Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Commanders have acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints.The Commanders are sending a third-round draft pick to the Saints in return. Washington acquired a third-round pick in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for Jahan Dotson before the season began, so it's possible the team could have traded that selection to the Saints to get this deal done.
With Lattimore in the fold, the Commanders fill a need that the team has had for a while. Now, the defense has a true shutdown cornerback that will be able to defend opposing teams' top receivers. Lattimore will have the chance to make his debut for the Commanders in Week 10 when the team hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lattimore will face his former Saints team in Week 15 on Dec. 15 in New Orleans.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
