As OTAs are underway, Lattimore is choosing to no-show. ... and Washington fans are all wondering what this is about. originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Washington Commanders addressed their secondary with the addition of Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos in the 2025 NFL Draft, a highly-touted prospect with great versatility and length.
With this second-round selection, Washington could be entering a youth movement as they continue building around star quarterback Jayden Daniels this offseason with the addition of young players in needed positions.
On the defensive side of the ball, various rumors could result in sliding Amos into a starting job already.
Would that be alongside Marshon Lattimore?
There have this offseason been unconfirmed reports that say the Commanders could be interested in moving veteran cornerback Lattimore in a trade, if the organization is interested in maximizing Daniels' rookie contract with more young, cheap assets and draft capital.
Last season, Washington acquired the four-time Pro Bowler at the trade deadline after he spent eight seasons with the New Orleans Saints. Not returning from injury until four games after his trade, Lattimore has played just two games in a Commanders uniform.
When Lattimore did play, his performance left a little to be desired. That won't guarantee him a future in the nation's capital if they are intrigued by Amos this early in his career.
And now? As OTAs are underway, Lattimore is choosing to no-show. ... and Washington fans are all wondering what this is about.
Our feel here is that this is more about how the player traditionally conducts his OTAs business than it is about any contractual happiness.
Still ...
Given the fact that he's pretty new around here? Sure. Be concerned. A bit.
While his Commanders career has minimal sample size to go off of, there are those who think Lattimore's injury history could also put him on the trading block in these roster building efforts.
Looking at his last three seasons, Lattimore, 28, has only played in 26 regular season games ... and missed 25.
The injuries clearly affected Lattimore's production last season, as he never graded higher than a 62.5 by Pro Football Focus during Washington's end-of-season stretch.
That injury risk and mediocre play could make him eligible for a trade if Washington has any last hopes of maximizing his market value.
But before we really move in that direction - the direction of. divorce between the Commanders and Lattimore?
The Commanders would be slim at the cornerback position, even if they move Amos into a starting role. Keeping Lattimore around for the 2025 season might be beneficial for veteran leadership in an otherwise very young secondary.
So let's get him to show up for work.
And then Washington can re-evaluate.
