Marshon Lattimore, Za’Darius Smith, Mike Williams, Preston Smith and Tre’Davious White were sent to winning teams. Jonathan Mingo and Khalil Herbert are going to a place where they’ll play more.
NFL teams, especially contenders, were active before Tuesday’s trade deadline at 4 p.m. EST.
The NFC East-leading Commanders made a move to help them try to stay in first place, acquiring Lattimore from the struggling Saints (2-7). The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback bolsters a defense that’s already No. 5 against the pass. The Saints are getting a third-round pick, a fourth-rounder and their own sixth that they previously sent to Washington. The Commanders also receive a fifth along with Lattimore.
The Browns, already looking to rebuild in a disappointing season, are sending Smith and a seventh-round pick in 2026 to Detroit for a fifth-round pick in 2025 and a sixth-round pick in 2026.
The Ravens (6-3) improved their secondary by acquiring White, two people with knowledge of the trade told the AP. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams haven’t announced the deal. White, a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback, was inactive the past four games with the Rams. Baltimore sent a seventh-round pick in 2026 to Los Angeles for White and a seventh-round pick in 2027.
The injury-plagued Cowboys (3-5) agreed on a deal with Carolina (2-7) to acquire Mingo and a seventh-round pick in 2025 for a fourth-round pick next year, two people with knowledge of the trade told the AP. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams haven’t announced the deal.
