A year ago at this time—that time, of course, being the days leading into the NFL trade deadline—Cheeseheads everywhere were clamoring for the Green Bay Packers to swing a deal with the New Orleans Saints to acquire four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
That, of course, didn't happen, as the Washington Commanders ultimately made the move, sending a 2025 third-round pick, a 2025 fourth-round pick, and a 2025 sixth-round pick to New Orleans, while getting Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round pick in return.
