A look at the updated draft picks and future impact for the Saints after trading Marshon Lattimore.

The two teams that made the biggest deal of the day are in different situations than we may have expected before the season. Plus, the Steelers finally strike and more in Albert Breer’s Tuesday notes.

My Tuesday notes were a bit delayed this week, waiting for the trade deadline to pass. Now that it has …

• The New Orleans Saints–Washington Commanders trade, the headliner of deadline day, is really a mark of two teams pivoting and changing direction at midseason. Two months ago, New Orleans would have been the far more likely of the two to be buyers at the deadline, with a veteran roster and a staff coaching for its survival. Washington, conversely, was there with a first-year staff and what felt like a significant rebuild ahead.

Yet, now, 28-year-old, four-time Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore is headed for the supposed rebuild. So much for all those narratives.

This deal makes sense for both teams. For the Saints, if they want to start cleaning out a salary cap that’s needed it for years, offloading well-paid veterans is a necessity.

Volume of picks will, for sure, help to remake the roster long-term.

Meanwhile, the Commanders fill a crying need with a guy who still has prime years left. They get him at the minimum this year and have, essentially, team options on him at $18 million next year and $18.5 million in 2025, which takes him just past his 30th birthday. Part of Washington’s issue coming out of this year will likely be that the team’s biggest needs are at premium positions—and it’s hard to address needs in multiple premium spots in one offseason (because of the scarcity of answers).
