A new target is emerging for the Washington Chiefs ahead of the NFL trade deadline

People have been shouting for weeks Commanders from Washington general manager Adam Peters to make a trade.

Specifically, those who have a personal interest in CommandersThe continued success made Peters and head coach Dan Quinn want to add a cornerback and/or edge rusher.

Names like Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn and Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II have been thrown around as potential targets. But if Peters had made this trade in the past two weeks, then he wouldn’t have been able to make a move to bring in New Orleans Saints star Marshon Lattimore. Washington.

“While the Saints have fired Dennis Allen after a seven-game losing streak, it doesn’t look like there will be a sale before tomorrow’s trade deadline,” NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reported monday evening “They got calls and could move guys like CB Marshon Lattimore. But a widespread sale seems unlikely.”

While New Orleans may not sell all of its pieces, the skippers would likely be interested in just one — the one Pelissero says could be available.

Now, the conflict here comes in the form of compensation. In their trade pitch that sent Lattimore to Washington, The 33rd team floated an idea to send a 2025 third-round NFL draft pick to the Saints for the cornerback.

In doing so, the Chiefs will have one in the third round as they have two out of the trade of receiver Jahan Dotson. In theory, that could turn the trade of Dotson and a 5th round pick in next year’s draft to the Philadelphia Eagles for Lattimore and two 7th round picks in 2025. Not a bad deal if you ask us.

Lattimore turns 29 in May and was a first-round pick by New Orleans in the 2017 NFL Draft.

While he hasn’t recorded an interception this season, he has 15 in his career and at least one in every year he’s played so far.

He is a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback and is under contract through 2026, but has no guaranteed money left after this season and less than $1 million still owed on his guarantees this season.

After the bye week in Week 14 of the season, Washington visits the Saints in New Orleans.
