Lattimore's Free Agency: Bucs' Smart Landing Spot?

About this episode

The Washington Commanders released cornerback Marshon Lattimore due to his torn ACL and poor performance, leaving them in need of cornerback help. Despite his past success with the New Orleans Saints, Lattimore remains a free agent as teams are hesitant to sign him due to his injury and declining play. Gary Davenport from Bleacher Report suggests the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a potential landing spot, as they need a veteran cornerback to support their young players and Lattimores familiarity with the NFC South could be beneficial. However, Lattimores health is a major concern, and his future in the league hangs in the balance.

On April 1st, the Washington commanders just cut ties with cornerback Marshawn Latamor this offseason, saving themselves 18.5 million dollars. That trade to bring him in turned into a total bust, especially after his torn ACL sidelined him midseason. Now the team's hunting for corner help, since Jonathan Jones and Noah Igbenegin bounce two. Teams are staying away because of that injury and his shaky play last year. Even when healthy, Latamor looked the step slow in Washington, a far cry from his shutdown days. That's why he's still a free agent, waiting for someone to roll the dice on his rehab. One analyst from Bleacher Report, Gary Davenport, points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a smart landing spot. Tampa lost Jermel Dean of free agency and needs a vet to steady their young corners, maybe even after drafting one at pick 15. Latamor knows the NFC South inside out from his star turns with the New Orleans Saints, where he earned four pro bowls and wreck quarterbacks just two years back.

Tampa's still chasing playoffs, so if the prize dips and he proves healthy, it could click. Hell's the big question mark though, ACL tears take time, and any slip-up could end his lead days for good. Keep an eye on how this plays out post-straft.
