Overview

• The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports Washington is telling interested clubs McLaurin is not available and that it is working on a deal.
• Negotiations are described as moving in a positive direction, and Tom Pelissero says the team still anticipates McLaurin being on the 2025 roster.
• Reporting indicates McLaurin is seeking more than $33 million annually, while team expectations are closer to roughly $27–29 million.
• McLaurin has requested a trade during the stalemate and is entering the final year of a three-year, $68.4 million contract with a $15.5 million base salary in 2025.
• He has been activated from the PUP list, and teams such as the Vikings, Jets and 49ers have monitored the receiver market even as Washington signals it intends to retain him.
