The Washington Commanders remain firm in a contract standoff with wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has not participated in practice since voluntary workouts. McLaurin is seeking an extension before the final year of his deal and his agent is reportedly pursuing an average annual value exceeding D.K. Metcalf's $33 million. Such a deal would rank among the top four receiver salaries and would consume roughly 11.8 percent of Washington's salary cap. General manager Adam Peters has refused to meet those demands to protect long-term roster and cap planning. Fans worry the extended impasse could harm the team's 2025 competitiveness.
After some new intel from a respected team insider, it's not hard to see why. McLaurin hasn't been on the practice field since voluntary workouts. He wants an extension before the final year of his deal, and has done everything possible in an attempt to force the issue. General manager Adam Peters hasn't budged, unwilling to meet the wide receiver's demands in pursuit of an agreement that doesn't jeopardize the team's long-term planning.
"One person with knowledge of [Terry] McLaurin's contract negotiations said the veteran receiver has asked for more than DK Metcalf, who signed a four-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this year. If McLaurin is seeking more than Metcalf's $33 million a year in average annual value, that would put him in the top four among receivers. If he seeks more than the $60 million Metcalf is guaranteed, that would land him in the top 10 receivers among guaranteed money."
