Overview

• Terry McLaurin reported to camp on July 27 and was placed on the active/PUP list with an ankle injury that has kept him off the field
• McLaurin is demanding a third contract with an average annual value exceeding $30 million, a threshold the team is reluctant to meet
• General manager Adam Peters has confirmed ongoing talks but acknowledged that negotiations have stalled amid the valuation gap
• The Commanders are prepared to deploy five-day letters and reserve/left squad list designations to enforce roster control if McLaurin continues to refuse practice
• Entering his age-30 season, McLaurin’s five consecutive 1,000-yard years strengthen his case even as age concerns differentiate him from younger $30M‐plus receivers
