Saints trade Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders

Lattimore was by far the best cornerback that the Saints ever drafted. So, it’s hard to see him go. That said, the restructure of his contract and the drafting of McKinstry seems like an actual long term plan for keeping the quality high and still beginning to improve the salary cap.

The compensation seems okay, unlike the fleecing the Saints usually experience when they trade. Let’s at least keep the picks and maybe accumulate even more. We need cheaper contracts to offset the dead money and expensive contracts that lie in our immediate future.
