N/S Lattimore traded at the right time? (ruled Out for 4 consecutive weeks since trade) [Lattimore will make Commanders debut against the Saints] (1 Viewer)

Loomis won this trade by a mile.

A little too early to declare victory, if Latt is healthy the last part of the season and the playoffs he will help them immensely....coverage CB's are one of their weaknesses....

First one he's won in a while. It might even be a Gayle Benson trade. Make it happen Gayle!

 

[Waymer]

He was the only great CB ever drafted by the Saints, but unavailable so often.

As good as Waymer was, I don’t think he was as good as Lattimore. My point really was that most of the Saints’ best corners weren’t drafted by them.

we should have tried to trade lattimore in offseason for a first and maybe slight change. his cap was always an issue and he had great value despite a high contract probably needing retooling long term.

they were never going to get a first for him even though that's what I wanted for him. Sneed, Carlton Davis, and Ramsey both were traded for third round picks over the last few years. Sneed was the Chiefs franchise player and they got a third. Tampa threw in 2 6th round picks for a 3rd. That's why Mickey always said the right offer. Most Saints writer was like if they could only get a 3rd then keep him.

Don't players usually have to pass a physical before trades become final?

Ah, I see a little love in there for Breaux. But alas, he was the "greatest that never was" at that position. No fault of his own, of course.

Also, to answer the Waymer love......I'm a longtime fan dating back to my early '80s childhood. Dave Waymer was in the "adequate" category, along with Johnnie Poe, who played the other side during that era. It was universally understood Waymer played out of position for a long time for whatever reason. He was better suited for safety. Still, you can go back and find old games where both he and Poe scored some sweet picks. It was either feast or famine with those two.

One of the best parts of the post is the N/S label. He was the only great CB ever drafted by the Saints, but unavailable so often.

Alex Molden??

Just looked it up, had no idea Waymer had tons more interceptions. Wow. lol

Yes....however he was traded with the hamstring considered a known condition, and after their doctors checked him out, Washington was okay with his progress at the time they made the move.

I'm curious to see how he does next year health wise. Different training staff and grass home field.

CB are like this. Their position demands so much flexibility, once they start to get injured it is hard to remain available.

Lattimore is the overall best CB to ever suit up for the Saints, but….Porter has the two most iconic plays ever by a Saints CB

Correct. Saints were exploring a trade all summer and I can guaran-flippin'-tee that they would have traded him for a first or probably even a second. Sometime a team sees what they need as the season goes along and are more willing to give up a little more to push to the playoffs. If the Commanders were 2-6 they wouldn't have traded for Lattimore. We has some leverage because more than one team wanted him for their playoff run.

Agreed.

And Waymer has way more interceptions. Tons more.
