Marshon Lattimore Arrested

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Well... I liked Lattimore a lot, but this will land some jail time unless the DA has a soft spot. Makes no sense that you have a stolen gun for any reason. If he felt he needed protection just buy ...

Well...

Makes no sense that you have a stolen gun for any reason. If he felt he needed protection just buy your own, or pay for some body guards. Lattimore likely cost himself a 50+mil contract here.

If the DA presses hard, worst case scenario is 5-10 years. Looks like we need a CB in round 1, and hopefully sign Sherman.

Re: Marshon Lattimore Arrested

I always felt like Lattimore was an elite talent who played at an elite level when he was motivated and felt like it, but not consistently. He would dominate Mike Evans and then get burned by some nobody. He was streaky. He didn't take over games for us in the playoffs. I never liked the idea of having to pay him some record contract. I wish we could have flipped him for draft picks or a more consistent player, but we never had depth at the position to do that due to injuries etc. At least we won't be the ones locking him up long term now. Maybe he gets through the suspension/jail and comes out motivated and we can keep him at a discount for a bit, or maybe he is another teams problem.

Re: Marshon Lattimore Arrested

Just heard on WWL it might not be as bad as originally expected. He may just have been in the company of felons who had a stolen firearm in the vehicle. The police took them all in and booked them. Police do this fairly regularly so they can get them all in and sort out the details later. If this is case it may not be as bad of a sentence. Either way he’s stupid and will catch a charge of some sort.

Lattimore was still in possession of an illegal firearm. Everyone in the car was carrying and none of them were on the up and up. And what about the company he keeps... Can we trust him?

However this turns out, he is screwed. If he goes to jail, he loses freedom and money. And if he doesn't, he is still going to lose money on his new contract over this.

They never think they will get caught.

Precedent states that bonuses paid and expensed in later periods will still count against the cap just as if the player was dropped, traded, retired, or died. See Aaron Hernandez for an example with the Patriots. I read that the basic morality clause in the standard contract is so muddled that it carries little to no weight in this type of potential case.

You can’t consider possession of an object upon multiple people when charges are filled.

The only way he gets out of this is if one of the people he was traveling with claims possession or if the DA goes soft.

What could have occurred, and possibly what they were talking about on the radio is if no one took possession then the driver assumes possession involuntarily. Hopefully that’s the case and one of his “friends” can claim it.

Still doesn’t look good.

Charges weren't filed yet. He was arrested under suspicion.

Well, can see a friend doing the time and that friend getting a portion of Lattimore's next check...

No matter what, Goodell will be there waiting to dispense some weighted justice against the Saints cornerback...
