New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has initialed a five-year contract extension worth $ 97.6 million.
That’s what the NFL Network learned on Sunday night.
The 25-year-old has secured a guaranteed amount of $ 68.3 million, which is a record for a player evolving at his position.
Selected in the first round (11th overall) of the 2017 draft, Lattimore has received three invitations to the Pro Bowl game in four seasons since joining the NFL. Last year, he made 62 tackles and two interceptions in 14 games.
On Sunday, just before word of his contract extension broke, the Ohio State product contributed to his 38-3 dominance against the Green Bay Packers. In this first duel of the 2021 campaign, Lattimore made three tackles. However, he reportedly injured his thumb and should be operated on soon.
