The Washington Commanders made a significant move by trading for cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints, sending three draft picks in return. This acquisition signals the Commanders' intent to compete for a Super Bowl, as Lattimore is expected to enhance their defensive capabilities. Despite a hamstring injury that has sidelined him, Lattimore's presence is seen as a game-changer for Washington's defense, which has struggled against opposing quarterbacks.

• The Commanders are serious about their playoff aspirations, as shown by their trade for Lattimore.
• Lattimore's ability to cover top receivers will allow Washington to diversify their defensive strategies.
