"[Marshon] Lattimore was given the benefit of the doubt for his subpar play in 2024 because of a hamstring injury that limited him to five games, including the playoffs, after the Commanders acquired him. He never regained the form that led to four Pro Bowl berths with the Saints before tearing the ACL in his left knee nine games into the season."
"That didn't happen. Injuries and performance regression became Lattimore's undoing. Now, not even two full seasons after the transaction, the four-time Pro Bowler is facing the prospect of an early departure."
"Releasing Lattimore saves the Commanders $18.5 million on their 2026 salary cap. That would take their available financial resources to an estimated $81.91 million, which is the ammunition Peters needs to solve some major rost"
Adam Peters faces a difficult offseason that begins with admitting the Marshon Lattimore trade was unsuccessful. Lattimore suffered hamstring and ACL injuries after joining Washington and failed to return to his prior Pro Bowl form, producing subpar play and becoming frequently targeted by opposing offenses. He played only five games in 2024 and never recovered full performance, compounded by an offseason arrest. Releasing Lattimore would save the Commanders $18.5 million against the 2026 salary cap, raising available cap space to an estimated $81.91 million and providing financial flexibility to address multiple roster needs.
