The New Orleans Saints are trading cornerback Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders, as first reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter. The news comes just before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, and Rapoport adds that the Saints are getting a "premium draft pick" back for the four-time Pro Bowler.

We'll have to wait and see what that compensation entails, but for now Alontae Taylor and Kool-Aid McKinstry are the future at cornerback in New  Orleans. Paulson Adebo is a free agent in March so the Saints could have two new starters outside for their defense by 2025.

This is a developing story.
