Overview

• McLaurin formally requested a trade last week after maintaining his holdout through voluntary workouts
• Washington has publicly rejected all trade inquiries and insists it intends to keep him on the roster
• Negotiations center on McLaurin’s pursuit of a contract averaging about $32 million per year, while the team’s top offer remains in the low $20 million range
• He has been on the PUP list due to a reported ankle issue, a move that shields him from daily fines but delays his return to practice
• League insiders say several teams have expressed interest in trading for McLaurin, who has recorded five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and 13 touchdowns in 2024
