Sources: Commanders' McLaurin skips minicamp
Briefly

Terry McLaurin, the receiver for the Washington Commanders, did not report to the mandatory minicamp as he seeks a contract extension. After a standout season where he recorded his best stats, he aims for an upgraded contract before it expires. McLaurin's absence echoes his previous tactic from last year when he similarly skipped practices before successfully signing a lucrative extension. Coach Dan Quinn praised McLaurin's offseason, as he navigates complex contract negotiations amidst potential fines for missed practices. This situation highlights the blend of performance and business in NFL player management.
"I understand the business side of the things, and when he stopped coming, I understand his side of the story." - Deebo Samuel on McLaurin's holdout.
"Terry has had a great offseason," Commanders coach Dan Quinn said last month, reflecting on McLaurin's progress ahead of the minicamp.
McLaurin recorded a career-best 13 touchdown receptions last season, demonstrating exceptional performance in his best season.
With a base salary of $15.5 million, McLaurin's contract negotiations highlight the strategic business decisions NFL players face.
