"As McLaurin finalized his three-year, $96 million deal, which also included a $30 million signing bonus, Peters and others within the organization were busy trimming the roster from 90 to 53 players. It's arguably the most difficult time of year in this cold business of the NFL, where dreams are crushed and hundreds of roster hopefuls are forced to seek alternative employment."
"He knew head coach Dan Quinn well from their time together on the Dallas Cowboys, and it didn't cost Washington anything to find out if he still had something left in the tank. Things started well enough. Gallup caught the eye over offseason workouts, but a hamstring injury kept him out of mandatory minicamp. This dented his initial momentum, and the former Colorado State standout was unable to get it back."
Terry McLaurin agreed to a three-year, $96 million contract with a $30 million signing bonus while the Washington Commanders immediately focused on reducing the roster from 90 to 53 players. The organization made early cuts that included veteran wide receiver Michael Gallup, who had returned from retirement but failed to secure a spot. Gallup showed promise in offseason work but missed mandatory minicamp with a hamstring injury that stalled his momentum. Rookie fourth-rounder Jaylin Lane and undrafted free agent Ja'Corey Brooks outperformed him during training camp. Gallup's future remains uncertain after a long layoff since his 1,000-yard season.
