Chiefs and Ravens in Hot Pursuit of Star $97M Cornerback!
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the New Orleans Saints are at a critical crossroads, with star cornerback Marshon Lattimore’s future in question. After a challenging season marked by a six-game losing streak and a 2-6 record, the Saints are reportedly weighing the prospect of trading Lattimore, especially if they stumble in an upcoming matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Trading Lattimore could bring in valuable draft picks and allow the team to pivot toward a long-term rebuild, but it would also carry financial consequences, with around $13 million in dead money against the salary cap.
Potential suitors, such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, have emerged, both eager to reinforce their defenses with Lattimore’s talents. The Chiefs, now focusing on a defense-first strategy, are facing the absence of cornerback Jaylen Watson due to injury, while the Ravens’ secondary has struggled with injuries and inconsistency. A trade involving Lattimore would be a significant step for the Saints, possibly signaling a shift in strategy as they navigate a season filled with challenges and tough decisions.
