Saints trade Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders (2 Viewers)

[BreesusSaves]

why are the commanders receiving $ when we need that money to offset the dead money?

That's the remaining of Lattimore's contract they have to pay.

 

[Rexman100]

Not the same player he once was and he was going to be move even if the Saints had not fired Allen.

right, he wasnt playing the rest of the season anyway. Using the hamstring excuse. Maybe Rizzi had a little input here?

good trade. whats the salary cap implications?

I think that’s just showing the contract portion they picked up and that those years aren’t grantees years.

The only flaw in this trade is that we couldn’t get it done in September before we paid his option bonus. That said, this is the time of year when WR, CB, and DE move.

They are just showing what he costs over the next two seasons in base salary. Weird formatting, bu tweets are weird like that.

And he gets to come to New Orleans as a Commander later this month........

Mike Evans can finally breathe lol

I wonder if Juwan can put on his "Evan's cape" and give (non-injurious) cheap shots all game to Lattimore...

(You know, for the memories...)

3rd isn't premium

3 picks for Latt is much better than most anticipated.

No fan of loomis these days but he did well.

 

[SaintsSpringBayou]

You really think he can shut down Mason Tipton?

I appreciate you for not putting the "/s". It shows bravery.

 

[TruSaint]

which 3rd is it? Theirs or the dolphins

 

[Rexman100]

And will pick Carr off twice. He can guard our WRs in his sleep.

If we're going this route, then we should start the rookies the rest of the way. See what you have. If they are still meh, then draft the best QB.

 

[Hubig]

Ah there it is, Lattimore's hamstring will magically be healed and Loomis just couldn't help but throw in the sweetner.

 

[silverbullet]

No, its not. And this is a hill im willing to die on. There is nothing premium about a 3rd round pick.

If we did recieve a 3rd round pick, then Ian Rapoport's headline is just exaggeration and click baiting

Decent return for an old, expensive cb with injury issues and complete mental lapses

Doubt it, keep in mind we set that option up w/ potential for trade this year. There’s no guarantee Rizzi is coach in a year. This was 100% front office

solid return on the trade
