The Washington Commanders have acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore via trade with the New Orleans Saints, pending a physical.
Washington has sent a third-, fourth- and sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft to the Saints in exchange for Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
Lattimore, the No. 11 overall pick by the Saints in 2017 draft, has appeared in 97 games with as many starts. He has 405 tackles in his eight-year career to go with 15 interceptions, 88 pass breakups and five forced fumbles. Two of Lattimore’s interceptions were returned for touchdowns.
Lattimore has been voted to four Pro Bowls in his career, including three straight from 2019-21. His first Pro Bowl appearance came after his rookie season in 2017, when he was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year for recording five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 18 pass breakups and 53 tackles. According to Pro Football Focus, Lattimore allowed a catch rate of just 53.8% and zero touchdowns.
From 2019-21, Lattimore recorded six interceptions, 44 pass breakups and 187 tackles. During that span, the Saints were a top 15 team in passing yards allowed in 2020 and 2021. They also held quarterbacks to the fourth lowest passer rating in each of those seasons.
Lattimore has played in seven games this season, recording 30 tackles and two pass breakups.
