The Commanders have successfully acquired Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the Saints, marking a significant enhancement to their defensive lineup. This strategic move underscores the team’s commitment to strengthening their roster without sacrificing valuable assets. First-year general manager Adam Peters managed to secure a third-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in an August trade that sent receiver Jahan Dotson to Philadelphia. Additionally, the sixth-round pick heading to the Saints is derived from the earlier acquisition of defensive tackle John Ridgeway from the Commanders, which occurred just before the season commenced. This careful maneuvering highlights Peters’ ability to make impactful decisions while maintaining the team’s core resources.
