On the flip side he fills an obvious need for the next couple of years and is easily the best corner we have.
In Peters we trust and all great GM's at some point take risks. Every move he's made has been pretty damn good. Plus Lattimore has to be happy as hell getting out of New Orleans. This is what the top teams do, try and upgrade mid season. Hard to think it but we are now that type of team.

Yeah, I have the same concern regarding his reliability. I hope Lattimore is now more motivated to play, which will naturally enable him to play through injuries whenever possible. Nonetheless, just like you, I think this is a risk worthwhile for us to take.
