Commanders Release Marshon Lattimore, Shake Up Secondary

0:00On March 2nd, the Washington commanders are shaking up their roster this off-season after a rough 2025 season that kept them out of the playoffs. They're expected to release Cornerback Martian Latamor, a key player in their defensive backfield who started nine games last year. Latamor joined the team midway through 2024 and a trade from the New Orleans Saints. That move fueled their surprise run to the NFC Championship game, but injuries and a team-wide slump hit hard the following year. Fans and analysts saw this split coming as Latamor struggled to match his Pro Bowl days in New Orleans. The release clears in salary cap room for Washington, but it punches a big hole in their secondary that needs filling fast. Now a free agent at 29 years old, Latamor should draw plenty of interest from other teams looking for experience. With free agency kicking off March 11th in the draft set for late April, the commanders face tough choices to rebuild their defense and bounce. Back strong.
