Since it’s the offseason, the New Orleans Saints will once again face salary cap issues. The Saints now rank fifth worst in the NFL in terms of spending limits, with a projected $15 million over the 2024 cap.
After the reorganizations that delayed future cap impacts, the Saints may now be thinking about dealing one of their most well-liked players.
Marshon Lattimore is a player on the New Orleans Saints’ trading list.
For the New Orleans Saints, cornerback Marshon Lattimore is a club legend. The four-time Pro Bowler has been outstanding for the most part since being selected with the eleventh overall choice in the 2017 NFL Draft.
However, Lattimore’s play has declined over the last two seasons, according to Pro Football Focus, and he was ranked 50th out of 127 cornerbacks in 2023. Lattimore, who is only 27 years old, has a $14.1 million cap hit in 2024, and there is talk that he might be traded.
As per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Lattimore is “available via trade” and “several teams believe.” Lattimore has a significant cap hit, but his base pay for 2024 is a respectable $1.2 million.
Teams seeking a playmaker could fall in love with the idea of buying low on Lattimore, and since the Saints need cap relief, a deal could come together.
