Commanders and Terry McLaurin Locked in Contract Standoff

Washington has resisted McLaurin’s push for roughly $30 million per season in a dispute it says will end before regular season play.

Overview

  • Terry McLaurin has stayed away from the team's mandatory minicamp since June 10 while seeking a new deal worth about $30 million per year.
  • The 27-year-old wide receiver enters the final year of a three-year, $68.4 million contract after recording over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past five seasons and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024.
  • Washington previously settled a comparable holdout in 2022 by agreeing to a three-year extension worth just over $68 million.
  • The offseason signing of Deebo Samuel has bolstered the Commanders’ receiver corps and could factor into their approach to McLaurin’s demands.
  • If no agreement materializes before training camp, the team could explore trade opportunities with the Cardinals, Broncos and Chargers.
