Commanders trade for Marshon Lattimore

A much-needed boost to the secondary

The Washington Commanders have traded for New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, the team announced Monday.

The Commanders sent a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick to the Saints for Lattimore and a 2023 seventh-round pick.

Lattimore, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.

He had three interceptions and 19 pass breakups in 13 games last season.

The Commanders have been looking for a cornerback to pair with Kendall Fuller, and Lattimore is a perfect fit.

He is a physical corner who can play man-to-man or zone coverage.

Lattimore is also a good tackler and has a knack for making big plays.

The addition of Lattimore gives the Commanders one of the best cornerback duos in the NFL.

He should help the Commanders improve their defense, which was one of the worst in the NFL last season.

The Commanders allowed the most passing yards per game in the NFL last season, and they also allowed the most points per game.

The addition of Lattimore should help the Commanders improve in both areas

Lattimore is also a leader in the locker room, and he should help the Commanders improve their culture.

He is a hard worker and a dedicated player, and he is always willing to help his teammates.

The Commanders are hoping that Lattimore can help them turn their season around.

They are currently 1-4, and they are in last place in the NFC East.

The addition of Lattimore should help the Commanders make a run at the playoffs.
