Marshon Lattimore Signs Lucrative Contract with the New Orleans Saints

Saints Lock Down Star Cornerback Through 2027

The New Orleans Saints have secured the services of their star cornerback, Marshon Lattimore, for the next five seasons. The two sides have agreed on a five-year, $97.5 million contract extension, making Lattimore one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.

The new deal includes $62.5 million in guaranteed money and will keep Lattimore in New Orleans through the 2027 season. The Saints selected Lattimore with the 11th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and he has quickly established himself as one of the best young cornerbacks in the league.

Elite Playmaker

Lattimore has been a key part of the Saints' success in recent years, helping the team reach the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. He has earned three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro selections during his career.

In 2022, Lattimore had a career-high five interceptions and 18 pass breakups. He also allowed just 51.5% of passes thrown his way to be completed, the lowest percentage among all NFL cornerbacks who played at least 80% of their team's snaps.

Long-Term Commitment

The Saints have shown their commitment to Lattimore with this new contract, and he is excited to continue his career in New Orleans. "I'm so grateful to be a part of this organization," Lattimore said. "I love this city and the fans, and I'm committed to helping this team win a Super Bowl."

The Saints are hoping that Lattimore can continue to be a key part of their defense for years to come. He is just 27 years old and is entering his prime. With Lattimore locked up long-term, the Saints have a solid foundation to build upon as they look to compete for a championship in the coming years.
