It took Terry McLaurin one week to resume alpha status after Commanders deal

"As an outside receiver, winning physically is important because you're going to get a lot more press and so his ability just to continue to be hungry and be a sponge and ask all the questions, I'm going to continue to try to help him [Jaylin] as much as I can along with Luke [McCaffrey], Ja'Corey [Brooks], Jacoby [Jones]. Chris Moore is a great guy in our room. Just all the guys we have in our room are amazing."

"The most important thing was that something got done in the end, and everyone can now fully focus on the immediate task at hand. McLaurin will be striving with everything he has to help the Commanders build on a phenomenal 2024 campaign. He's playing catch-up after not practicing for months, but the wideout was professional enough to stay in shape until his deal got rubber-stamped. And the chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels is already fully established."

Terry McLaurin picked up where he left off after receiving a lucrative contract extension from the Washington Commanders. He quickly re-established himself as the team's undisputed alpha. Negotiations with general manager Adam Peters and McLaurin's representatives took time, but a compromise was reached so the team can focus on immediate goals. McLaurin intends to help the Commanders build on a phenomenal 2024 campaign while catching up from months without practice; he stayed in shape until the deal was finalized and already shows strong chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin also prioritizes mentoring younger receivers such as Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey, Ja'Corey Brooks, Jacoby Jones, and Chris Moore.
