Terry McLaurin, a second-team All-Pro and top NFL receiver, is under contract and is not attending training camp, creating a distraction for the Washington Commanders. McLaurin's absence is particularly concerning given the team's aspirations for a Super Bowl. The Commanders have traded for Deebo Samuel Sr. to better support McLaurin, yet his choice to miss practice for contract leverage is causing unrest. An extension can still be arranged before free agency next March, but McLaurin needs to focus on contributing to his team during the season ahead.
Terry McLaurin is a second-team All-Pro, catching 13 touchdowns last year and surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in each of his past five seasons.
McLaurin's choice to leverage his position for a new deal is creating a distraction, more trouble than worth for the Commanders as they pursue a Super Bowl.
For the first time, McLaurin has a true No. 2 option in Deebo Samuel Sr., which could allow him to perform even better this season.
McLaurin is under contract to play football for the Commanders through the 2025 season, with a possible extension before he hits free agency next March.
