The Washington Commanders are acquiring cornerback Marshon Lattimore in a trade with the New Orleans Saints, according to three people with knowledge of the deal.
Washington sent third-, fourth- and sixth-round picks to New Orleans and got a fifth back along with Lattimore, according to two of the people. All three spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because it had not yet been finalized.
Lattimore, 28, provides an instant upgrade on defense for the Commanders, who are off to a surprising 7-2 start to the season and became deadline buyers as a result of unexpected playoff aspirations.
