The Commanders are set to release cornerback Marshon Lattimore after 1 1/2 seasons with the team, according to a CBS Sports report.
Lattimore, a four-time Pro Bowler and the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2017, is entering the final year of a five-year, $97.6 million extension he signed with New Orleans in 2021. He turns 30 in May.
He was set to make $18.5 million in 2026 but none of it was guaranteed, meaning Washington would have no dead money with his release.
A former first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2017 draft, Lattimore was traded from the Saints to the Commanders in November of 2024. He played 11 games in Washington, two in 2024 after the trade and nine last season before sustaining a torn ACL.
He was arrested in Ohio in January on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
Over eight seasons, Lattimore has started all 95 regular-season games he's played in, recording 16 interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), 98 passes defensed, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 436 tackles.
