"As soon as the contract extension for Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin was reported, the question began: Who won? In the reaction to determine which side -- McLaurin or the Commanders -- ultimately made concessions or misplayed their hand during the negotiations, the real victors of Monday's agreement were quarterback Jayden Daniels, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, wide receiver Deebo Samuel, tight end Zach Ertz, and everyone else on the Commanders' roster."
"The real money on McLaurin's new deal won't be known until the three-year extension is filed with the league and the total guarantees and true breakdown are known. For now, the headline is that McLaurin received a nice average per year number and the total contract is worth "up to" $96 million over three years, according to sources. It could be discovered in the next few days that the team got the deal it wanted."
Terry McLaurin agreed to a three-year extension potentially worth up to $96 million, keeping Washington's top receiving option under contract. The total guarantees and true breakdown will be revealed when the extension is filed with the league. The deal preserves offensive continuity for quarterback Jayden Daniels and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury while benefiting teammates such as Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz. McLaurin has been the offense's heartbeat over six NFL seasons, providing energy, emotion and serving as a routinely voted team captain. Washington enters the Sept. 7 opener against the New York Giants with McLaurin available.
