Commanders staring at one clear Marshon Lattimore successor in free agency
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson | Denny Medley-Imagn ImagesThe Washington Commanders finally decided to release cornerback Marshon Lattimore, according to reports. This inevitable move brings an end to his stint with the franchise, which fell flat pretty early on, despite much being expected after a blockbuster trade before the 2024 deadline.
Lattimore's departure with one year remaining on his deal is projected to save the Commanders $18.5 million in cap space in 2026, though that figure might drop slightly if an injury settlement is attached. Although it was all but guaranteed, it does leave another hole that must be filled.
