Lattimore has been a key contributor on the Saints for the past four seasons. It’s unclear how this situation will affect his relationship with the franchise, if it will at all.
That being said, it’s worth noting that Lattimore is eligible for a new contract. He’s currently set to play on the fifth-year option that’s part of his rookie deal.
Before the Saints can even think about working out a long-term deal with Lattimore, this situation will need to get sorted out.
