Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore was arrested on Wednesday night during a traffic stop in Lakewood, Ohio, for carrying a concealed weapon.

Lattimore was booked into jail that night and released at a later time, possibly facing a second charge for mishandling a firearm in a vehicle.

"We have been made aware of the arrest and are gathering more information. We ‌have informed the NFL League office and have no ​further comment at this time," ⁠the Commanders said in a statement on Thursday. 

The 29-year-old has only played in 12 games for the Commanders (nine this season) since the team acquired him in a trade with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, recording 31 tackles and one interception.

Lattimore is currently heading into the final year of his current five-year, $97.6 million contract and is due $18.5 million next season ($2 million from signing bonus). Should they release him, Washington would save just as much cap space.

The veteran corner is a former 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year after he posted five interceptions, 18 pass deflections, with 52 tackles and a forced fumble. 

He would make the Pro Bowl three more times in the next four years, developing a reputation in New Orleans as one of the game's best young corners. But Lattimore's career has seen better days.
