The Washington Commanders acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore in a trade with the New Orleans Saints, pending physical examination.
Washington sent Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round draft pick to the Saints in exchange for third-, fourth-, and sixth-round picks in the 2025 draft.

He first appeared in the Pro Bowl after his rookie season in 2017, when he had five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 18 pass breakups, and 53 tackles. He was named Defensive Rookie of the Year. According to Pro Football Focus, Lattimore had a catch rate of just 53.8% and no touchdowns.
