Hours before the NFL's trade deadline at 4 p.m. EST on Tuesday, the Commanders (7-2) got four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the struggling Saints (2-7), three people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams have not announced the deal.

The New Orleans Saints trade of Marshon Lattimore to the Washington Commanders is complete, and now they will have to face him sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a Dec. 15 date set with the Saints in the Caesars Superdome for a matchup that will likely end up not going the way of New Orleans based on their performances this season.
