Former Ohio State cornerback traded to Browns' next opponent before NFL trade deadline: report

CLEVELAND, Ohio — One of the NFL's best cornerbacks is on the move before the 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline, and it's all about the team the Browns will play next.

According to multiple reports, including ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Saints are trading Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders.

The deal calls for Lattimore and a fifth-round pick for the Commanders in exchange for a third-, fourth- and sixth-round pick, according to Schefter. ESPN's Katherine Terrell added that all draft picks are included in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Lattimore earned four Pro Bowl selections after the Saints drafted the former Ohio State star with the 11th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has 15 career interceptions in 97 games.

This season, Lattimore has played in seven games for the Saints. He doesn't have an interception, but he has 30 total tackles, including 22 solos, and two pass breakups.

Lattimore now goes to a Commanders team that ranks fifth against the pass but ranks 21st in net yards per pass attempt (6.2).

This is also the second major step the Saints have taken in as many days. On Monday, the Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen and promoted special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi to interim head coach.

The Saints are the next team on the Browns' schedule as Cleveland will travel to New Orleans in Week 11.
