The 2023 season wasn’t good for the New Orleans Saints. Many predicted that the Saints would win the NFC South when they acquired quarterback Derek Carr in the summer.
Sadly, New Orleans was unable to make it to the playoffs at all.
This has therefore caused considerable annoyance. It has even raised
concerns about a few players’ potential staying on the squad. Dennis Allen, the team’s head coach, is certain that one certain player will be around in the future.
Saints CB Marshon Lattimore was the subject of trade speculations over the summer. Dennis Allen, the head coach, took some time this past weekend to address these allegations.

At the Chateau Country Club in Kenner, Louisiana, there was a celebrity golf event that featured the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.
Allen had a conversation with Mike Triplett of New Orleans Football at the golf event.
Allen disclosed in the exchange that he and Lattimore had a “positive” discussion about Lattimore’s future with the team. Following their talk, Allen is certain that he and Lattimore will “move forward” in the 2024 season.
For the past seven seasons, Lattimore has been an integral member of this Saints defense. This last offseason, trade speculations surfaced mostly because of the nature of his deal.
In theory, he is under contract with the Saints through the conclusion of the 2028 campaign. Nonetheless, the Saints’ contract includes an opt-out option that they are free to utilize following the 2024 campaign.
Consequently, there were rumors that they might think about dealing Lattimore to a team that would want to rent him out.
What has he accomplished in his first seven years as an NFL player, then? Lattimore has 375 total tackles, five forced fumbles, and 15 interceptions.
