The Washington Commanders are not interested in trading star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, despite his public request to be dealt. McLaurin and the team have been locked in a tenuous contract dispute for months, following the most productive season of his career. With McLaurin slated to make $15.5 million in base salary on the final year of his deal, the indication from his camp is that he's seeking a deal in line with that of DK Metcalf and the Pittsburgh Steelers, in the range of $33 million AAV. While the Commanders have not spoken publicly beyond saying they intend to keep McLaurin around long-term, the thought is that they're seeking a deal closer to the $23 million AAV recently agreed to by fellow 29-year-old Courtland Sutton and the Denver Broncos. Should the Commanders take the field without McLaurin in 2025, free agent addition Deebo Samuel Sr. would profile as the team's WR1, and quarterback Jayden Daniels would presumably see his sky-high second-year expectations take a notable dip.

Washington Commanders all-pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin requested a trade on Thursday after contract discussions fell through. McLaurin has been vocal about receiving an extension this year after delivering a career year in the 2024 season. Outside of McLaurin's rookie year, he has delivered over 1,000 yards receiving in every season he's played and remained a healthy option for the Commanders. With star quarterback Jayden Daniels entering the fold, this will be big news that can impact his play and McLaurin's after they connected for 13 passing touchdowns in 2024. As he enters his age-30 season, we will see if the Commanders work harder to get a deal done or decide to ship him off before his final contracted year.

The difference between what the Washington Commanders are willing to offer and what wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is asking for in contract negotiations is "vast," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin ended his holdout and reported to Commanders' training camp on Sunday, but he was immediately placed on the active/physically unable to perform list, so this could be a hold-in situation. McLaurin will turn 30 in September and has been remarkably durable throughout his career, playing in 17 games in each of the last five seasons. He caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, his first season playing with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin profiles as a high-end WR2 in fantasy as long as he's ready to go for the regular season, but it appears as though his return to the practice field is not particularly close.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin ended his holdout on Sunday morning. McLaurin has been removed from the did not report list and placed on the active/physically unable to perform list. The 29-year-old is reportedly dealing with an ankle issue that has lingered from last season. McLaurin is allowed to do some team activities, but cannot participate in practice until being medically cleared. The star wideout has been holding out over a new contract extension. McLaurin has one year left on a three-year extension that he signed in 2022. The decision to go to the PUP list does not mean the two sides are nearing a deal. This move allows McLaurin to avoid $50K daily fines that he was receiving for missing camp. Hopefully, the two sides can agree on a deal for the beginning of the regular season.
Jul 27, 2025 8:10 AM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was officially placed on the Reserve/Did Not Report list on Wednesday. McLaurin continues to hold out as he seeks a new contract with the Commanders. The 29-year-old has been disappointed with the way contract talks with Washington have progressed and has not reported to training camp. He hasn't missed a game since 2020 and caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns across 17 games last season. Scary Terry continues to weigh out his options for a new contract by holding out or requesting a trade. The Commanders highly value him and hope to get a new deal soon. Washington's star wideout's fantasy stock could continue to dip while the holdout continues. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as McLaurin comes in as a high-end WR2 in upcoming fantasy drafts and is ranked WR15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings.
Jul 23, 2025 9:04 AM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who is seeking a new contract, did not report to training camp on Tuesday and is officially a holdout this summer, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin wasn't present for the team's conditioning test on Tuesday, which marked the unofficial start of training camp. The 29-year-old pass-catcher is the only Commanders player that isn't accounted for. It doesn't come as a surprise after McLaurin recently said he was disappointed with the direction of contract talks with the team of late. He's seeking a new deal after catching 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games in 2024. McLaurin now has five straight seasons of 1,000 receiving yards and is the unquestioned WR1 in D.C. He's due for TD regression, but with Jayden Daniels under center, he profiles as a strong WR2 in fantasy.
Jul 22, 2025 7:22 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is still uncertain for the start of training camp, but the Commanders are making it clear that they are willing to work on a new deal with their star receiver. Commanders General Manager Adam Peters said on Tuesday, "Without a doubt, I think everybody in this building values Terry very much. In terms of where we're at, we've had conversations recently and we'll look to have more conversations. ... We'll do whatever we can to get a deal done." Scary Terry has put up over 1,000 yards in each of his last five seasons without missing a game since 2020. He produced a new career-high 13 touchdowns last year while working with rookie standout Jayden Daniels. McLaurin is exploring every option, including a holdout, hold-in, and a trade request, so keep a close eye on his status as training camp opens.
Jul 22, 2025 11:34 AM EST
It's unclear if Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin will attend the start of training camp this week, but he said he's interested in "trying to bring a deal together, not breaking the team apart," according to a source close to McLaurin. The 29-year-old skipped offseason workouts as he seeks a long-term contract extension, and he also hasn't decided if he'll ask for a trade. The All-Pro wideout and team captain is exploring every option, including a holdout, hold-in and a trade request. McLaurin has made it clear he's frustrated with the situation, but the Commanders haven't talked to him about his contract in weeks. He turns 30 in September and is entering the final year of a four-year, $68.4 million deal. After posting his fifth-straight 1,000-yard season in 2024, McLaurin has become a strong WR2 target in fantasy.
Jul 21, 2025 1:19 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin said he hasn't decided if he will report to training camp next week, and he's taking things day by day, according to NBC Sports' JP Finlay. McLaurin has skipped all of the team's offseason workouts so far and could continue that into training camp as he seeks a long-term contract extension. The 29-year-old is heading into the final year of a three-year, $68.2 million extension he signed in 2022 and is seeking more after posting his fifth straight 1,000-yard season in 2024. The two-time Pro Bowler caught 82 of his 117 targets for 1,096 yards and a career-best 13 touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts. McLaurin's arrow is pointing up with quarterback Jayden Daniels looking like the real deal, although fantasy managers will want to expect touchdown regression. He's a firm WR2 target in fantasy, but a lengthy holdout this summer won't boost his fantasy appeal.
Jul 15, 2025 1:05 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is entering the final year of his deal and is a candidate to be a holdout or hold-in at training camp this summer. McLaurin has five straight 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and has at least 900 receiving yards in each of his six years in the NFL, but The Athletic's Mike Jones writes that he's unlikely to land a deal that rivals that of Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase, who got four years and $161 million. However, it's possible that McLaurin tops the four-year, $115 million deal the Bengals gave receiver Tee Higgins. The 29-year-old had a strong 23.2% target share last year and excelled with impressive rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, also scoring a career-high 13 touchdowns. McLaurin will see regression in the TD department, but with Daniels looking like an elite QB, McLaurin is now in WR2 territory in fantasy.
Jul 12, 2025 2:52 PM EST
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is still "not happy" with where things stand regarding a new contract. This situation has been ongoing for months, so this is nothing new. Still, with training camp right around the corner, the franchise is running a greater risk of a holdout situation if the wideout doesn't get a pay increase. He is coming off his best season since entering the National Football League, ending the 2024 campaign with 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns off 82 receptions. McLaurin is currently in line to make $15.5 million this season. However, it will presumably take well over $30 million a year to retain his services moving forward. If McLaurin isn't on the field, it won't be good news for Jayden Daniels, the 2024 NFL Rookie of the Year. McLaurin's potential absence from training camp could also cause his fantasy stock to fall.
Jul 6, 2025 8:26 PM EST
ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that there is no update on contract talks between the Washington Commanders and wide receiver Terry McLaurin, "and that's the problem." "There is quite a gap between what both sides want right now and they have not made any progress," Schefter said. Schefter goes on to say that he'd be surprised if the Commanders look to move on from McLaurin via a trade, regardless of how disgruntled the wideout might be. McLaurin is entering the final season of a three-year extension he signed in 2022 and is looking for a hefty extension after posting his fifth straight 1,000-yard season with a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024. He's reportedly seeking a deal that would pay him around $30 million a year, but the Commanders seem hesitant to give that to a receiver that will turn 30 this September. In fantasy, McLaurin is a solid WR2 target going into 2025.
Jun 30, 2025 9:29 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is not "in a great place" with the team regarding a new deal, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. The wideout is entering the last season of a three-year, $68.2 million contract he signed in 2022. Most assumed this situation would have been sorted out by now. However, that doesn't appear to be the case. McLaurin certainly deserves a pay increase, considering he had a career-high 13 touchdowns last season while adding 82 grabs for 1,096 yards. This will be a hot topic of discussion for fantasy managers moving ahead. Currently, McLaurin is expected to be on the field come Week 1, although that could change depending on how things go during training camp. Without question, 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels hopes he'll be out there. If not, Daniels will need to move even quicker to build chemistry with new receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., who was traded from the 49ers back in March.
Jun 21, 2025 8:13 PM EST
Washington Commanders All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin is not attending mandatory minicamp this week, reports FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. McLaurin has made it clear to the team that he's not happy with the lack of progress on a long-term deal and also left voluntary workouts last week unexpectedly after initially attending OTAs. The 29-year-old is heading into the final year of his three-year, $68.2 million deal and is coming off his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in which he also had a career-high 13 touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts as quarterback Jayden Daniels' top target. The Daniels McLaurin pairing should continue to produce, but fantasy managers will want to expect touchdown regression, and the addition of Deebo Samuel Sr. could also change the dynamic of Washington's offense. Target McLaurin as a high-end WR2 in fantasy this fall.
Jun 10, 2025 12:01 PM EST
Washington Commanders All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin has made it clear to the team that he's frustrated with the lack of progress on a potential long-term contract extension, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. After initially attending voluntary organized team activities, McLaurin unexpectedly left the workouts, and it remains to be seen whether he'll report for mandatory minicamp this month. Talks have been minimal on an extension with the 29-year-old heading into the final year of his three-year, $68.2 million contract. Schultz write that it's a surprise that Washington hasn't prioritized a new deal for McLaurin so that he can continue developing chemistry with second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels. McLaurin's fantasy stock is on the rise after an 82-1,096-13 line in 17 regular-season games with Daniels in 2024, but a lengthy holdout could negatively impact his start to the 2025 campaign. Stay tuned.
Jun 5, 2025 12:28 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was absent for voluntary organized team activities this week, according to The Washington Post's Nicki Jhabvala. The All-Pro wideout had been a full participant previously but is entering the final year of his three-year, $68.2 million contract that he signed in 2022. The 29-year-old is coming off a huge season in 2024 in which he caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games, so he's most likely angling for a new contract. General manager Adam Peters said in March that the organization would likely to work something out with McLaurin before the start of the 2025 regular season, but it remains to be seen if it will actually happen. TD regression is expected for McLaurin, and Deebo Samuel Sr. will take some targets away, but he will be a fine WR2 target going into fantasy drafts this fall.
May 28, 2025 10:08 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin was not at Wednesday's practice, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old has been a full participant in offseason workouts before this absence, but this is a situation to monitor as he heads into the final year of his contract. McLaurin's contract ranks 16th among wideouts in average salary ($23.2 million), and he could be looking for long-term security with a pay bump toward the top of the position after an 82-catch, 1,096-yard, 13-touchdown season in 2024. The former third-round pick has tallied five consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns and is finally playing with a high-level quarterback in rising sophomore Jayden Daniels. Fantasy managers should expect any issues to be resolved ahead of this season, and McLaurin has WR1 upside in Washington's explosive offense.
May 21, 2025 3:10 PM EST
When asked if the Washington Commanders have a desire to give wide receiver Terry McLaurin a new deal before the 2025 season, general manager Adam Peters said they've had talks with McLaurin's agent, and they've been positive so far. "We want to make Terry a Commander for a long time," Peters said. McLaurin was a Pro Bowler for the second time in 2024 and posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard campaign by catching 82 of his 117 targets for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 17 regular-season starts with impressive rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The 29-year-old has one year left on the three-year, $68.2 million extension he signed in 2022. The addition of wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. shouldn't really affect Scary Terry's overall volume, although fantasy managers should expect TD regression. Still, with McLaurin paired with the upside of Daniels, he should be a popular WR2 target this fall.
Apr 1, 2025 11:24 PM EST
The Athletic's Ben Standig writes that Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin's agent is expected to seek a new deal for the second-team All-Pro pass-catcher this offseason after recording his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024. In 17 regular-season games, McLaurin had 82 receptions on 117 targets for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels elevated the entire offense. McLaurin added 14 catches on 23 targets for 227 yards and three touchdowns in the team's three playoff games. Going into the 2025 campaign, McLaurin's seventh in the league, he will be much more expensive in fantasy drafts as a WR1 after Daniels' impressive rookie season. In his six years in the NFL, McLaurin has 38 total touchdowns in 97 regular-season games and is averaging 65.8 yards per game.
Jan 28, 2025 4:39 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught three of his seven targets for 51 yards and a score during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. McLaurin's best play of the afternoon came in the second quarter when he scored on a 36-yard catch-and-run. However, during the second half, the top wideout was quiet as Jayden Daniels directed most of the passing attack toward tight end Zach Ertz. His 51 yards and seven targets placed him second among pass-catchers, only behind Ertz in both statistics. McLaurin has found the back of the end zone in each playoff game. During the regular season, McLaurin enjoyed a career season as he found the back end zone 13 times, which set a new franchise record. He also eclipsed the century mark for the fourth straight season. McLaurin should be viewed as a solid WR2 with upside heading into the 2025 campaign with Daniels under center.
