Terry McLaurin delayed participation in offseason workouts, mandatory minicamp, and training camp while awaiting a long-term contract extension, missing valuable reps and team practice time. The contract was eventually resolved, and McLaurin returned to the facility, but limited on-field preparation could affect timing with quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin maintained personal conditioning despite the absence from team drills. Jayden Daniels expressed confidence that on-field chemistry can be restored through reps, noting that the connection does not simply disappear. Both players previously formed a dynamic tandem, and the team expects focused practice time to rebuild full game readiness.
Terry McLaurin had to wait a long time before getting his long-term contract extension from the Washington Commanders. His agents and general manager, Adam Peters, worked things out in the end, but it deprived the wide receiver of valuable reps throughout the summer. McLaurin opted to skip offseason workouts, mandatory minicamp, and training camp until his contract saga was resolved successfully. He didn't practice with his teammates for months and was barely seen around the facility in Ashburn.
True football conditioning is something else entirely, as is making sure the timing is absolutely on point with quarterback sensation Jayden Daniels. "I mean, I told y'all he was coming back soon. So, I'm excited. Getting reps; that's the only thing we could really go with now. We didn't have a whole camp, so...as many reps as possible. I don't think it [chemistry] ever leaves."
