Potential trades

On the flip side he fills an obvious need for the next couple of years and is easily the best corner we have.

In Peters we trust and all great GM's at some point take risks. Every move he's made has been pretty damn good. Plus Lattimore has to be happy as hell getting out of New Orleans. This is what the top teams do, try and upgrade mid season. Hard to think it but we are now that type of team.

Yeah, I have the same concern regarding his reliability. I hope Lattimore is now more motivated to play, which will naturally enable him to play through injuries whenever possible. Nonetheless, just like you, I think this is a risk worthwhile for us to take.

Lattimore has given up all of 1TD in his last 50 games played covering teams #1 WRs . . . this year opponents have a QB Rating of 76 when attempting to pass his way. He is by far our #1 corner, and only 28 years old. yes, health has been a concern, but he seems healthy so far this year!

This can help us a LOT!! Not only will it help us shore up the secondary, but will allow us to put more men in the box to slow the run game down instead of having two deep safeties on every play. Hopefully he can get up to speed quickly!!! I like this move quite a bit! Not just a 1 year rental either, two more years after this year under contract at $18 mill cap hits . . . not bad for a #1 corner in today's NFL!!

the most telling thing about lattimore is that teams like the ravens and chiefs were in the hunt for him as well, those are good personal teams makes me feel better about this trade

hopefully he stays healthy

You're getting a flawed player at the trade deadline.
Health, Contract, attitude, or a combo of the 3.

Lattimore has a bad hamstring.
There is some risk but the reward is moving BSJ to WR2 and Sainristril to the slot with help deep. the upside outweighs the contract which isn't that bad.

Flawed? A 4 time pro bowler who some Saints fans are calling the best corner they've ever had who is 28 years old. Please cite us attitude examples with him.

Again, he is an upgrade. Our corners prior to him needed a lot of help. Options WERE limited. He was easily the BEST available and has been healthy all year.

He's definitely flawed. He's hurt quite often.

I can't cite any attitude problems, but he's a guy who runs hot on the field. I always disliked him, but I'm sure I'm gonna love it now.

If he's healthy I agree that he's a big upgrade.

It's the NFL. Injuries happen and can unpredictably. You don't fear this risk for when the reward is excellence. He has been healthy all year and is still a great corner. You honestly think we could have competed in the playoffs with our corners pre Lattimore? No way. This is why this move was made. We have a rock star qb finally on a rookie contract. The window is now.

What was your plan if you are opposed to getting Lattimore?

He is healthy now. Quit fearing greatness and put your faith in Peters. He has done everything else right.

"Quit fearing greatness". WTF does that even mean?

My plan would've been to stay the course and keep the draft capital.

As I said though, I trust Peters and think this move is ok. I'm just not over-the-moon about it.

I meant players in general that are on the trade block are flawed.

Lattimore has injury concerns and is the second highest paid CB in the NFL.
For a 3rd, it’s a low risk trade that should pay off immediately.

OK got it. I keep having nightmares how AJ Brown torched our secondary next year. I don't want that to happen again by any team. Getting a real #1 corner will help a lot. Interested to see how it works out but like the bold move by AP. Peters seems to have a great balance on when to make big moves (Lattimore) and when to stay on the sidelines (Aiyuk).

I don't see how any Washington fan can be upset at this huge deal. Corner was preventing this team from every going anywhere this season, now they have landed one of the top corners in the game.

The window in Washington is officially open for business.

I believe his salary is not guaranteed the next two years- If for some reason (I in no way believe this) he becomes what a Haynes was worth, we are not stuck with a major salary hit, I believe.

I wonder if Lattimore and McLaurin are tight. They would have overlapped at OH State.

The Dallas Cowboys have yet to make a trade during the NFL Trade Deadline, but the franchise might be too busy making other moves.

Jon Machota of The Athletic is reporting that the Cowboys are releasing cornerback Andrew Booth. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl...d0facac8&ei=19
Maybe Quinn knows something about getting value out of this guy
