Overview

  • League sources tell EssentiallySports that both parties have made “real progress” and anticipate a deal in the next week.
  • McLaurin was removed from the NFL’s physically unable to perform list on Saturday, making him eligible to practice for the first time this camp.
  • NFL insider Charles Davis said McLaurin’s initial contract demand nearly derailed talks after it far exceeded Washington’s reported $28 million annual ceiling.
  • Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury confirmed limited direct contact with McLaurin while the veteran receiver rehabs an ankle injury.
  • The Commanders have rebuffed trade proposals and are weighing McLaurin’s age, salary-cap impact and franchise value in finalizing terms.
