I was wrong about Marshon Lattimore and Commanders can’t ignore it anymore

Sometimes in life, you have to hold your hands up and say you were wrong. I feel like that time has arrived when it comes to Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

With the Commanders further ahead in Year 1 of their rebuild than even the brightest optimist envisaged, general manager Adam Peters made a bold move to acquire Lattimore via trade from the New Orleans Saints before the 2024 deadline. The compensation was steep, but the front-office leader thought this would provide Joe Whitt Jr.'s defense with the shutdown presence it needed in the secondary.

Things haven't gone according to plan.
