This would seem uncharacteristic of us, but it does seem like a new franchise that sees our best shop for a ship is now and don't want to waste Burrow's years, and a corner and pass rusher would definitely boost our defense.
Our secondary definitely needs help and Lattimore would provide with his veteran presence and shut-down ability. He's only 28.
Then there's Chase Young:
As an Ohio State fan, I'd love this and I think he'd fully reach his potential opposite of Hendrickson. He hasn't had many sacks, but he has had 30 sacks. I think we need to make this move since it would be relatively cheap since, like I said, the Saints are out of it.
Will our front office pull the trigger?
Well, we made a trade for Khalil Herbert who is a decent RB so there is a chance. Would love both of these players even more honestly.
Lattimore always has been good when I watched him, very good cover Corner that can tackle well. Chase Young is underrated as far as the
player, crazy to say this as I believe he was overrated on here before he was drafted. Has just been hurt a ton in his career. But there is no
doubt he is an upgrade to every End we have not Trey and Young is a better run stopper.

Young isnt an improvement over what we already have with Hubbard and Murphy.
For the right price he could be a solid rotational piece to help keep legs fresh

Just crazy talk, completely disagree and I was never a Chase Young fan. He is a very good pass rusher and he is good at stopping the
run. Sure, he is injured a lot but so is Hubbard and Ossai. I think Chase Young would only help Murphy.

Lattimore is heading to Washington. What a turn around they have pulled off!

I'm preparing myself for Herbert being the only addition today.

Jayden Daniels is the truth. He's unlocked Terry Mclauren, and they made some good FA moves and then this trade. They're a lot like us between 2020 and 2021.

Agree. Never been as impressed with a rookie QB, not even Burrow or even Stroud. Very accurate, smart and can use his legs.
Impossible to stop if on his game and getting decent blocking. Still think the Lions are the team to beat in the NFC but Washington could
give them a run for their money.

The Commanders traded 2025 picks in the third and fourth rounds and also gave the Saints a 2025 sixth-round pick they acquired in a previous trade this summer for defensive tackle John Ridgeway III. In addition to Lattimore, Washington received a 2025 fifth-round pick.
