"The Washington Commanders stood their ground during a frustrating contract standoff with wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Everything is now resolved successfully, and there could be one primary beneficiary above all else. And it's not quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin got a three-year, $96 million extension from the Commanders. This included a $30 million signing bonus and $44 million guaranteed. It was the compromise everyone associated with the team was hoping for, and it came just in time to avoid complications before Week 1 against the New York Giants."
"Samuel is undoubtedly the most gifted running mate McLaurin's ever had in the receiver room. There are concerns around his regression last season, but the South Carolina product alleviated these fears with a standout offseason where he was in shape and explosive. Taking this through to a competitive setting is the next challenge, and staying healthy is also key. Samuel is highly motivated to silence his doubters. Having someone like McLaurin taking up the attention of opposing coverage schemes is the best possible way to bounce back."
Washington resolved Terry McLaurin's contract with a three-year, $96 million extension that included a $30 million signing bonus and $44 million guaranteed. The deal avoided a pre-season standoff and potential Week 1 complications against the New York Giants. Quarterback Jayden Daniels regains his primary receiving weapon. The return of McLaurin may primarily benefit Deebo Samuel Sr., who could see improved opportunities as defenses shift coverage. Samuel showed a strong offseason after concerns about last season's regression and must stay healthy to capitalize. Kliff Kingsbury is expected to design plays to maximize Samuel's after-catch explosiveness.
