This page lists all the 2024 Trades for the Washington Redskins. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

November 2024 – Trades and Signings
Redskins acquire CB Marson Lattimore, 5th-round pick from Saints for 3rd-, 4th-, 6th-round picks
As much as the redskins loved Jayden Daniels heading into the season, they likely didn’t imagine being in position to be major buyers at the trade deadline. After all, they’re just one removed from selling Montez Sweat to the Bears. They’re 7-2, however, and they’re in position to make a deep run into the playoffs. They just needed to fix their problematic secondary, which they did with this trade.
Marshon Lattimore is injury-prone, but he’s one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL when healthy. He’s well worth this price tag. He’ll improve Washington’s defense enough to make them a major force come January. I love this trade for the Redskins.
I also like the Saints offloading Lattimore to obtain quality draft capital. Are they finally beginning to realize that they have to blow the whole thing up rather than constantly kicking the can down the road? Their fans can only hope so.

August 2024 – Trades and Signings
Eagles acquire WR Jahan Dotson, 5th-round pick from Redskins for 3rd-round pick, two 7th-round picks
This is not quite the receiver trade we were expecting. Yet, it’s not exactly a shock to see Jahan Dotson dealt. Dotson was reportedly in danger of potentially being released because he was in Dan Quinn’s dog house. Washington was able to ship him off for a pick swap instead.
I like this trade for the Eagles. Dotson had a solid rookie campaign, but struggled mightily last year. Then again, Terry McLaurin also disappointed, as Washington’s entire receiving corps was hurt by Sam Howell and a poor offensive line. Dotson will have a chance to rebound in Philadelphia, where he’ll provide needed depth as a third option at wide receiver. The Eagles’ receiving corps was very lackluster beyond A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, so the Eagles now have a solid replacement if one of them were to suffer an injury. Downgrading their third-round pick to a fifth-round choice won’t seem like a steep price to pay if Dotson’s availability is crucial at some point during the 2024 season.
As for the Redskins, it’s nice that they were able to upgrade a mid-round pick for a player they did not want anymore. I question them helping a divisional rival, but it’s not like they were going to finish ahead of the Eagles in the standings anytime soon anyway.
Grade for Eagles – A-

Redskins acquire K Cade York from Browns for 7th-round pick
The Redskins have been busy today. In addition to trading Jahan Dotson, they also acquired a kicker to potentially solve a problematic position for them.
The issue is that Cade York may not be the proper solution. York is a former fourth-round pick, but he’s just 24-of-32 in his career. He lost the kicking competition in Cleveland to Dustin Hopkins. The Browns were willing to move on from him, so I don’t get why the Redskins think he’ll solve their kicking woes. Granted, they surrendered just a seventh-round pick, but it feels like they could have gotten someone comparable without giving up anything.
Grade for Redskins – C-
Grade for Browns – B+

March 2024 – Trades and Signings
Seahawks acquire QB Sam Howell from Redskins for swap of 3rd- and 4th-round picks and swap of 5th- and 6th-round picks
It’s not very surprising that the Seahawks traded for Sam Howell. They’ve reportedly been fans of Howell, and they needed a backup quarterback in the wake of Drew Lock’s departure. Ideally this quarterback would be a young player with future starting potential.
Sam Howell fits that description. He struggled late last year, but had some very bright moments at times, particularly against the Eagles. He was ultimately betrayed by his offensive line, but he could be a decent quarterback if he’s well protected. The Seahawks are giving up a bit more than I would have liked, as swapping third- and fourth-round picks is somewhat significant, but it’s not an egregious overpay.
On the other end, I love this trade for the Redskins. They have no use for Howell because they own the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They also have a veteran backup in Marcus Mariota, so Howell wasn’t even guaranteed to make the final roster. Moving up from the fourth to the third round could allow them to secure an impactful prospect.
Grade for Seahawks – B
Grade for Redskins – A
