A few hours before the NFL trade deadline, which was set for 4 p.m. today, there are many changes of addresses in the Goodell circuit.
Lattimore heads to Washington
Despite an injury that keeps him sidelined for the moment, star cornerback Marshon Lattimore will change formations as the New Orleans Saints completed a trade with the Washington Commanders.
A first-round pick in 2017 (11th overall), Lattimore spent his entire eight-season career in Louisiana. He still doesn’t have an interception this season.
In return for Lattimore, New Orleans will receive 3rd, 4th and 6th round picks from Washington. As the team was not the only one interested in obtaining the services of the Saints defender, the stakes went up.
The Commanders will also demand a 5th round pick from the Saints in 2025.
Mike Williams passe aux Steelers
With the acquisition of Davante Adams a few weeks ago, the Jets found themselves with a surplus of receivers and ultimately, it was with the Steelers that the team found a transaction partner.
According to Ian Rapoport, Mike Williams would take charge of Pittsburgh.
The veteran, who was in his first season in New York, will have a fresh start with the Steelers. Before this season, he spent seven seasons with the Chargers. In just three starts this season for the Jets, Williams has rushed for 166 yards and no touchdowns.
In return, New York demands a fifth-round pick from the Steelers.
Dallas adds receiver
The Dallas Cowboys have acquired receiver Jonathan Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick, reports NFL Network.
Mingo, a former 2023 second-round pick, joins the Cowboys after star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a sprained knee joint in Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Quarterback Dak Prescott was also injured during the game and is expected to be placed on injured reserve, which would sideline him for a minimum of four weeks.
Mingo had 12 catches for 121 yards and no touchdowns this season.
Herbert as reinforcement for the Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals, meanwhile, acquired running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick, the Bears announced Tuesday.
Cincinnati needed a running back after Zack Moss said he was dealing with a neck injury before the team’s Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. On Monday, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said more information would be gathered this week and that it was unclear when Moss would return to play.
Herbert, a 2021 sixth-round pick, is in the final year of his rookie contract. He has been used little by the Bears in his six games this season. He carried the ball just eight times for 16 yards and a touchdown and was absent in Chicago’s last two games.
The Virginia Tech alum adds depth behind Bengals running back Chase Brown, who rushed 27 times for a career-high 120 yards in Cincinnati’s 41-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on last weekend.
