The Washington Commanders have acquired Marshon Lattimore to help combat the Philadelphia Eagles passing attack

Hours before the NFL's trade deadline at 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday, the Commanders (7-2) got four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the struggling Saints (2-7), three people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams have not announced the deal.

It's the trade of the day so far, as the Washington Commanders sent a third-round pick, fourth-round pick and sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a fifth-round pick and four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
