Most Washington Commanders fans are expecting veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore to be released at some stage during the offseason. And the sooner it happens, the sooner general manager Adam Peters can add to his available financial resources in free agency.
This seemed like a foregone conclusion, at least from the outside looking in. However, the general manager's comments at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine indicated this is not as automatic as it once appeared.
The Commanders' bombshell trade for Lattimore came with expectations he hasn't matched. Injuries dented his ability to make an instant impression.
