Overview

  • Washington and McLaurin agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $96 million with a reported $30 million signing bonus and a $32 million average salary.
  • The agreement ends his hold-in that included fines, a PUP stint for an ankle issue, and a formal trade request in late July.
  • He is expected to be available for the Sept. 7 opener against the Giants, restoring Jayden Daniels’ primary target.
  • The $32 million AAV places him among the NFL’s highest-paid receivers and effectively ties him to the club through 2028, though full guarantee details were not disclosed.
  • McLaurin enters the new deal after an 82-catch, 1,096-yard, 13-TD season; Washington also released veteran receiver Michael Gallup on Monday.
