Sidery does say the Commanders intend to release him before the start of the new league year on March 11 so it&#8217;s possible another team could make them a trade offer in the weeks leading up to that deadline. Putting the story out there this early may be exactly what they&#8217;re hoping for, but we&#8217;ll wait and see how it develops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Injuries limited Lattimore to just 11 regular season games and three playoff games after the Saints dealt him at the 2024 trade deadline; he came away with 12 pass breakups and an interception but wasn&#8217;t the lockdown cover corner Washington envisioned. Lattimore is under contract for the final year of his contract in 2026 but he&#8217;s run out of guarantees, and the Commanders can recoup $18.5 million by releasing him. Lattimore will turn 30 in May but figures to draw interest on the free agent market once he&#8217;s recovered from a midseason knee injury.
