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. And in this case, they do so while getting a significant return to start building back up, landing Washington’s slotted third- and fourth-round picks, plus the sixth New Orleans gave them in the John Ridgeway III trade (with a fifth going to Washington with Lattimore). 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). This gives them a head start. ...

On Sunday, we saw the New Orleans Saints lose their 7th straight game, this time to the Carolina Panthers. They hit what was officially one of their lowest points in decades and judging from several player’s reactions, there was a clear-cut sign that changes need to be made. Less than 24 hours later, the Saints took action by firing head coach Dennis Allen. Special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi has been named interim head coach and in his first press conference, he mentioned how things had been done the same way for a long time and it was time for some changes.

The New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons have finished their first practice ahead of their week 10 matchup. Wide receiver Chris Olave was absent after suffering a concussion against the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Darren Rizzi says the team will take it slow with Olave before making a decision on his short- or long-term health. Rookie cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry remains absent from practice as he deals with a hamstring injury. Running back Alvin Kamara has been upgraded to a full participant for the first time in over a month.

The Falcons listed offensive weapons Kyle Pitts and...

Todd Grantham’s responsibilities are changing under New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi. He’s moving from defensive line coach to a senior advisor role after the team dismissed Dennis Allen. Rizzi says Brian Young, a 15-year coaching veteran on staff as a pass-rush specialist, will run the defensive line room.

“It’s a shuffle. Shuffle the deck there a little bit on defense,” Rizzi told reporters Wednesday, when asked whether he would characterize these changes as a demotion and promotion. “You have to understand the workload change because Dennis got removed. Dennis was...

Darren Rizzi spoke with Dan Campbell after being named Saints interim coach

Did you know Darren Rizzi coached with Dan Campbell? Both men were on staff with the Miami Dolphins way back in 2015. Before he rose to prominence as the Detroit Lions’ biggest personality, Campbell was raising eyebrows by running Oklahoma drills to set the tone in his first practice as the Dolphins’ interim coach.

After getting a laugh at that — of course the kneecap-biter ran physical one-on-one Oklahoma drills — Rizzi confirmed that he had spoken with Campbell after being named Saints interim coach. That’s an experience he felt he could draw from.

“I did speak with him, had a nice...

Any time a trade goes down in the NFL, someone walks away feeling like a winner. That’s true of every deal, so which team won the New Orleans Saints’ trade with the Washington Commanders that swapped Marshon Lattimore for a grab-bag of draft picks?

According to The 33rd Team, both teams won. Washington got a four-time cornerback and a fifth-round choice in next year’s draft. That was good enough to earn an “A” grade. New Orleans was graded with an “A-minus” for acquiring picks in rounds three, four, and six. That last pick is coming back to the Saints after they traded for defensive...

The New Orleans Saints announced Wednesday that they had opened the 21-day practice window for starting safety Will Harris to return from injured reserve, which could be a big boost for the secondary.

Harris went down with a hamstring injury during Week 5’s prime-time loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. To that point in the season the was the only defender to stay on the field for 100% of snaps — more than mainstays like Tyrann Mathieu and Demario Davis.

He totaled 16 tackles (12 solo, 1 tackle for loss) and an interception with 3 passes defensed, so he was productive. The Saints have...

How trading Marshon Lattimore impacts the Saints salary cap

The New Orleans Saints shifted gears and finally traded star cornerback Marshon Lattimore this week, just before the NFL trade deadline, sending thee playmaker to the Washington Commanders in exchange for multiple draft picks. But that isn’t the only cost of trading him. How did this move impact the Saints’ tense salary cap situation?

In brief, this will be felt for years. There isn’t much of a difference on 2024’s accounting since we’re in the middle of the season. Washington is paying the rest of Lattimore’s salary, saving the Saints about $605,000, but since he restructured his...

Where does the Marshon Lattimore trade leave the Saints cornerback room?

The New Orleans Saints have traded away Marshon Lattimore and a 5th-round pick to the Washington Commanders for a 3rd, 4th, and 6th-round pick. Lattimore was by far the best trade asset that the Saints had on the roster, and with the season going the way it is, it was not surprising to see the star player traded away. When a team trades away a player of Lattimore’s caliber, their respective position room on the former roster tends to take a big hit. Think of when the Panthers traded away Brian Burns in the summer. Carolina’s edge rush group was a strength of the team for years, but when...
