The New Orleans Saints traded four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders, following the firing of head coach Dennis Allen after a seven-game losing streak. The trade involved Washington sending a third-round, fourth-round, and sixth-round pick in 2025 in exchange for Lattimore and a fifth-round pick. This move marks a significant step in the Saints' rebuild, as they now hold nine picks for the 2025 NFL Draft, allowing them to potentially strengthen their roster in the coming years. Lattimore's trade comes as he recovers from injuries, raising questions about his immediate impact, but Washington sees this as a chance to bolster their defense amid a surprising 7-2 start. The trade illustrates the Commanders' ambition to capitalize on their current success while positioning the Saints for a future rebuild.
