Lattimore - Possible Trade Partners Now That June 2nd Has Passed
Nothing new in regards to Speculation of a Lattimore Trade. Put down the knives.
However, today was an important date for Lattimore, the Saints, and any other team that may want to trade for Lattimore in 2024.
When the Saints and Lattimore reworked his contract, they converted $13.79 Million Dollars of what was previously part of his 2024 salary, into a Roster Bonus that became due today and owed by whichever team roster Lattimore is on. That still as of today is the Saints.
It's significant in that the Saints may find it much easier to trade Marshon to another team now as his 2024 Base Salary is a mere $1.2 million dollars for 2024. Another team in need of a top tier CB may find it easier to make a deal of sort with only having to fit that number under their 2024 cap.
On the other hand, the Saints having now paid the roster bonus may think it's best to keep their best corner on the team for now
One things for sure, nobody will be happier than Lattimore Monday morning at practice.
The NFL trade deadline is November 5th, 2024
