Washington Commanders Plan to Cut Cornerback Marshon Lattimore

Monday, March 2, 2026 at 2:18 PM

The Washington Commanders are planning to part ways with cornerback Marshon Lattimore following just 18 months with the franchise. The four-time Pro Bowl defender suffered a torn ACL last season and was recently arrested on weapons charges in Ohio.

Washington is preparing to cut ties with cornerback Marshon Lattimore following a brief stint that lasted just one and a half seasons, CBS Sports has learned.

The 29-year-old defender, who earned Pro Bowl honors four times and claimed Defensive Rookie of the Year recognition in 2017, is in the last year of his massive five-year contract worth $97.6 million that he inked with New Orleans back in 2021. Lattimore will celebrate his 30th birthday this May.

His scheduled salary for 2026 was $18.5 million, but since none of that money was guaranteed, Washington faces no financial penalty for cutting him loose.

Originally selected 11th overall by New Orleans in the 2017 NFL Draft, Lattimore joined Washington via trade last November. His time with the Commanders included just 11 total appearances – two games following the 2024 trade and nine contests this past season before suffering an ACL tear.

Legal troubles surfaced in January when Ohio authorities arrested him on weapons-related charges, including carrying a concealed weapon and improper firearm handling in a vehicle.

Throughout his eight-year NFL career, Lattimore has been a consistent starter, appearing in all 95 regular-season contests he’s been available for. His career statistics include 16 picks with two returned for scores, 98 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, and 436 total tackles.
