Latt was just fine under the prior HC.....but I digress.....

I think folks are vastly underestimating his value to the team. Period....others disagree....

I think folks are overestimating how good our CB room is without him, neither Taylor nor Adebo have his level of cover skills and Kool Aid may turn out to be good/great, but right now, he's an unknown.....

I agree Lattimore is very valuable and the rest are either unknows at outside CB (Kool-Aid and Taylor) or guys you aren't sure can stay at the level (Adebo). So, ideally, you keep Lattimore. But, if you get a good offer and you aren't in contention for the division this year, you probably take it because he's 29 next year and a shut-down corner about to start his decline isn't really that useful for a rebuilding team. And Lattimore probably isn't going to be happy to stay on a rebuilding team when he likely only has a few years left to be a contributor on a team in contention. He'd probably rather move on in search of a ring or at least consistent playoff football.

And, I really think it's the lack of winning and being in contention that may be the issue for Lattimore more than DA himself. Lattimore hasn't really known what it's like to be on a losing team. tOSU always wins plenty games and the Saints won a lot of games until the last few years. So, he may be more frustrated with the lack fo winning than anything else.
