Saints trade Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders (4 Viewers)

[Snakehead]

LFG! That's a good haul of picks.

 

[TruSaint]

Now if we land the number 1 pick we should trade back and stock pile even more picks. and rebuild the trenches

 

[Snakehead]

We both got what we needed, but we need picks bad for the rebuild so we won.

 

[stooge]

They should if you ask me, but I'm not an expert.

The cap hit is from bonuses already paid by us. I don’t think there was any way to move that cap hit to another team.

Saints only win if the picks are used correctly. Washington has a bona fide postseason player who can provide leadership and calm in that environment

 

[tim martin]

trade will be fine if we tank the season. we can’t draft like 8th this year

 

[Taker597]

Lattimore been trying to get himself trade for almost 2 years.

Getting anything of value for him is a huge WIN

I feel like both teams won in this trade. Latt goes to Wash and becomes their shutdown corner and we get badly needed, salary cap friendly young players (draft picks) to rebuild the team.

If Washington improves because they have Lattimore then they won. The one thing that hurts Washington on this trade is Lattimore's ability to stay on the field, although I question Latt's effort and want to be on the field the last couple of years. I'm not sure he ever bought into what DA was trying to sell and sometimes that can manifest in injury or lack of detail.

All and all if I am the Saints front office I'd feel pretty good about what they got. Lattimore was an aging, oft-injured player that was likely to be gone next year regardless. You get a couple good picks for him and also clear room for guys like Taylor and Kool-aid to get more experience.

Don't forget this dude stays injured and quit after Bo Nix ran him over.

 

[St. Widge]

And what is that? They did us a favor by giving us quite a respectable haul. Plus, I have no ill will toward marshon...I hope he does well. And Jayden Daniels is so easy to root for. Heck, I am rooting for them to go all the way at this point.

The more games they lose the better the picks become. Has nothing to do with ill will and everything to do with wanting the picks to be better picks. Not that it makes any difference if you root for a team or not.

 

[AustSaint]

I liked Latt, good CB for us but we needed to start somewhere, and we got a decent return for him.

 

[SAINT BIGAL]

Time will tell who received the better deal. Latt has a new home and we get a little more ammo for the draft.

 

[SaintRay]

Total dead cap so far in 2025:

Latt 31.6
Mt 9.1
Jamies???? 7.3

holy smokes we broke!!!

Same boat the Falcons were in a couple of years ago after the release of Ryan and Julio.
Take your medicine and look forward to cleaning up the cap.

Is Lattimore recovering from a hamstring injury, or is Lattimore "recovering from a hamstring injury?"
