Back to EpisodesCommanders Release Marshon Lattimore, Save Cap Space
Description
The Washington Commanders have released cornerback Marshon Lattimore, marking the end of a brief and tumultuous tenure with the team. The move comes after a trade from the New Orleans Saints, which saw the Commanders surrender three draft picks. Lattimore played in just eleven regular-season games, grappling with injuries and subpar performance. The decision to release him was deemed an easy call by new general manager Adam Peters. The Commanders secondary required reinforcement, with young and unpredictable starters like rookie Mike Sainristil and veterans Benjamin St-Juste and Noah Igbinoghene. Despite the gamble not paying off long-term, many still support the move, as Lattimore, a four-time Pro Bowler, brought veteran acumen to the team. His presence contributed to the defenses four interceptions in the NFC divisional round against the Detroit Lions. The release clears cap space and allows the Commanders to reassess their cornerback strategy without regret.
