The Commanders are going all-in during what has been a dream 2024 season.
The franchise acquired star cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the Saints before Tuesday’s trade deadline, bolstering their playoff hopes after a surprising 7-2 start.
Washington will send third-, fourth- and sixth-round picks to New Orleans in exchange for the four-time Pro Bowler and 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The move strengthens a Commanders team that has already surpassed its preseason over-under total of six-and-a-half wins and now has a deep postseason run in sight.
With a half-game lead over the Eagles in the NFC East, the Commanders’ division odds improved slightly after the trade, moving to +110 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Philadelphia, who was the top pick to win the division at most major sportsbooks, remains the favorite at -145.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (17) celebrates with quarterback Jayden Daniels (5) after scoring a touchdown against the New York Giants during the first quarter of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, in East Rutherford, N.J.
