Overview

• Training camp has seen McLaurin present but not practicing, as he remains on the PUP list and has formally sought a trade.
• Washington’s analytics department views receivers as high risk once they turn 31, driving its valuation stance in talks.
• Multiple league sources say the Commanders’ top offer would cap McLaurin’s extension at about $28 million per year.
• By missing games or practices, McLaurin stands to lose over $900,000 in weekly game checks and up to $50,000 in roster bonuses.
• With McLaurin under contract for 2025 and a potential 2026 franchise tag cost above $30 million, the team preserves strong leverage.
