New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore could be in for a huge payday this year.
Lattimore was recently cleared to play the Saints’ season opener against Green Bay on Sunday, which saves New Orleans from a potentially catastrophic loss.
The Saints’ cornerback unit has been depleted beyond measure with no worthy competitor to play alongside Lattimore, much less to replace the star corner. Bradley Roby and Paulson Adebo could take turns filling in the backfield, but without Lattimore, the Saints’ secondary loses the most decorated corner in franchise.
