"Terry McLaurin's agent had his day when the Washington Commanders gave him the privilege of leaking and revealing certain aspects of the wide receiver's lucrative contract extension. But the full details paint a completely different picture. McLaurin and Buddy Baker won the battle. But make no mistake, Adam Peters and the Commanders won the war. It was a long standoff between McLaurin and the Commanders to reach this point."
"But a closer look at the details makes this an undoubted win for Peters. According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, the base value of McLaurin's deal is $87 million. Only $44 million is guaranteed initially, which rises to $50 million before the 2028 campaign. There are also reachable incentives based on receiving yards, receptions, touchdowns accumulated, Pro Bowl appearances, and success in the playoffs."
A prolonged negotiation saw Terry McLaurin pressing for a higher annual salary while Washington general manager Adam Peters resisted, leading to holdout talk and trade requests. McLaurin signed a three-year extension measurable at up to $96 million with a $30 million signing bonus. The deal's base value is $87 million with only $44 million guaranteed initially and guarantees that increase to $50 million before 2028. The contract includes incentives for receiving yards, receptions, touchdowns, Pro Bowl selections, and playoff success. The average annual value settles at $29 million, below reported targets, and the structure preserves protections for the team if performance declines.
