Garrett Wilson may have just helped the Commanders keep Terry McLaurin
Briefly

Terry McLaurin is currently in pursuit of a new contract from the Washington Commanders, which has not progressed despite his absence from voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamps. As negotiations remain stagnant, the Commanders face increased pressure with the upcoming training camp. The recent four-year, $130 million deal granted to Garrett Wilson by the New York Jets could influence McLaurin’s contract discussions. Analysts suggest Wilson’s deal establishes a salary floor of $30 million, aligning with McLaurin's proven value despite his age, compelling the Commanders to offer competitive terms.
I think the Garrett Wilson deal actually makes the [Terry] McLaurin deal easier. Sure GW is younger but the floor is $30M. Can't really argue otherwise now, and maybe you couldn't before either.
McLaurin's floor, regardless of the concerns surrounding his age, is $30 million per season. That's the going rate for elite-level performers, of which he is one.
