Chiefs Interested in Trading for Saints 4-Time Pro Bowl CB: Report

With the NFL trade deadline looming, the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to make some more moves. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions reached out to the New Orleans Saints about four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore.

“The Saints have gotten calls about Marshon Lattimore, according to league sources,” Schefter wrote on November 2. “One of the potential holdups of a deal is Lattimore’s health, sources said.

“The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback is not playing Sunday against the Panthers, but it hasn’t stopped teams from calling about him, including the two-time defending champion Chiefs.”

This falls in line with what The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on the same day about Kansas City’s interest in acquiring another cornerback. The team wants to add to that room after third-year CB Jaylen Watson suffered a broken ankle on October 20.

Lattimore has been linked to the Chiefs in recent weeks due to the current state of the Saints and Lattimore’s contract status. Because of his small base salary for the 2024 season and the fact that he has no guaranteed money in his contract after this season, he’s a sensible trade candidate ahead of the November 5 deadline.
