It will be a cap savings move. Good work by Mickey.

They will very likely trade him by the end of August or by training camp. It's too risky to the cap to carry him into 2024. If he gets hurt, he's too old and way too expensive to mov. There's a single window here they are unlikely to bypass.

Moving an aging expensive vet is a sign of a team that truly wants to get healthier financially.

Why does everyone want to trade Lattimore?

IKR! That's like repeatedly asking family members, "how soon before granny dies"?.

 

[Boy_of_wonder75]

Yes, 9 yrs ago , he won a trade, but then drafted Stephon Anthony

All by himself?

There is very little reason why Lattimore shouldn’t be among the best CBs in the NFL. He had among the great rookie seasons of all-time at the position. Since then the consistency ended. He gets up for certain games but he seems disinterested quite a bit. And then he gets hurt. As solid as he has been, he’s been a disappointment when looking at the promise he showed his rookie season. If there’s still a team out there that thinks he is the same guy he was his rookie season…then ship him off. If everyone else sees my same concerns and we can’t get anything back for him…just keep him

Man, I have thought compensation would be a 3rd or 4th, but they think it would be a 5th. Some heads on the SSF will explode when that happens, even though it's what his trade value is and we would save $30M against the cap next 2 years, people would want to barbeque Loomis!

Don't agree with this assessment. He's been very good in the vast majority of games played and a top tier CB's ability is fundamentally important in making a defense better.

As fans, we just tend to remember the less impressive moments and forget / not notice the large number of positive plays.

I agree - when he’s in the game - the defense is clearly better. The issue with Latt has been durability. He’s getting to the point now where he’s picking up nagging injuries and some major ones as well.

IKR! That's like repeatedly asking family members, "how soon before granny dies"?.

Unfortunately the trade window is usually pretty narrow. I think most agree that Latt is a massive part of the defense - but he’s getting older and getting injured and “allegedly” has some heat with Allen.

So as the wise Bill Belichick says - “it’s always better to trade a player a year early than a year late.”

I wish people would chill out with the trade Lattimore talks. As i've pointed out before, the trades rarely benefits the team that's moving the player. If Lattimore went on a huge decline, do it.

lol you do realize that you pretty much agreed with everything I just said. He’s very good, but you’d think he would be an all-pro difference maker based on his rookie year. He hasn’t been that guy since. He gets up for big games but otherwise he’s been frustrating.

No, I know exactly what I said and it clearly wasn't that.

Sammy’s take on Lattimore “the remix”

 

[TribuneUK]

Since then the consistency ended. He gets up for certain games but he seems disinterested quite a bit ... he’s been a disappointment

He's been very good in the vast majority of games played.

He gets up for big games but otherwise he’s been frustrating.

These words and phrases quite obviously have different meaning.

If you can direct us all to the dictionary or phrasebook where 'disappointment' and 'frustrating' are described as meaning 'very good' then I might understand why you're so fundamentally misinformed as to how words work.

Your assessment is principally a negative viewpoint, mine is an entirely contrary one to that.

Your assessment remains one I disagree with. Try to follow the premise.

If he goes on a huge decline nobody will want him.

Exactly. How will it benefit us to move on from Lattimore? Are we getting a 1st round pick? Are we getting an impact player in return? Lattimore is All-Pro, not someone that's fighting for playing time.

The benefit would be in making his injury management someone else’s problem while not enduring the will-he-or-won’t-he uncertainty of game week preparation. I also just predicted the Saints to be 7-2 at the trade deadline, so it’s more likely they’d be buyers than sellers if that holds. We shall see
