What a difference one year can make for the Washington Commanders.

Last year at this time, they cleaned house trading Montez Sweat and Chase Young.

This year, they land a four time Pro Bowl cornerback in Marshon Lattimore.

Front office, coaching, culture = game changer

Adam Peters did not turn Jahan Dotson into Marshon Lattimore. Did even better. Traded the lesser of the #Commanders' two 2025 third-round picks. Kept the pick from Philadelphia via Miami for Dotson. And dealt one of New Orleans' own picks back to the Saints.

Master class.🔥🔥🔥

Marshon Lattimore since 2021:

Commanders adding Marshon Lattimore changes the whole defense.

Joe Whitt Jr. can put Benjamin St-Juste on WR2s, move Mike Sainristil back inside and be more aggressive / stop the pass better out of single high.

Trade of Lattimore to Washington confirmed…anyone know a good spot to stay in New Orleans mid-February? Asking for a friend. pic.twitter.com/81jzfrdoHz

Like I said earlier. I was down for whatever AP was willing to do. So with them landing Lattimore, im sure they've done all of their due diligence on the situation. Especially for a guy that fills the biggest need onbthe team. #Lethimcook #Commanders #Raisehail pic.twitter.com/jSoiN1bKkm

If Peters get Lattimore for a 3rd then he essentially flipped Dotson for Lattimore. That would wrap up Exec of the year for sure pic.twitter.com/AvcDe3ZFwG

INTERESTING…

According to @JosinaAnderson the Saints traded CB Marshon Lattimore and a 5th rd pick to WSH for a 3rd 4th and 6th rd pick

AKA

BIG AGGRESSIVE SWING

GOING FOR IT?

Really love the flexibility this move could give the defense.

You can play single high safety…

Tell me if I'm wrong, but the Commanders basically traded the lower of their two 2025 third-round picks, John Ridgeway (who they sent to the Saints for the 2025 sixth now going back to NO) and a 2025 fourth for Lattimore and a 2025 fifth?
That's...good.

— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) November 5, 2024

Commanders play a lot of man coverage, but have been much better in zone this year (QBR of 51 vs 68).

Acquiring Lattimore should improve their ability to play man, which I'm imagine is a priority for Quinn.

Super fun trade!

Commanders 7-2
Have a generational QB playing like a MVP
SCARY TERRY on pace to put up career high numbers.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

According to @AdamSchefter The Washington Commanders have traded for Saints Corner Back Marshon Lattimore!!!!!

The Commanders are adding the 4x Pro Bowler to there defense!!!! #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/QmzqU0BdAm

The thing about Lattimore now being in the fold… it helps you at two spots. You now have a true CB1 and Mikey can now go back to slot, which is his best spot.

Defense will look different.

— Emmanual Benton (@manny_benton) November 5, 2024

Marshon Lattimore is the exact player I envisioned they’d target. They have the need, they have the money, they have the draft capital, and they have the wins. It made too much sense.
