Overview

  • Reports from NFL Network and ESPN say the agreement includes a $30 million signing bonus and ends the veteran receiver’s hold-in.
  • The deal carries a $32 million average annual value, placing McLaurin among the NFL’s highest-paid wideouts, per Spotrac.
  • The resolution returns Washington’s WR1 with 13 days to prepare for the Sept. 7 opener against the Giants after a camp stretch that included PUP status and a July 31 trade request.
  • UPI reports the extension ties McLaurin to Washington through 2028, aligning with the final year of his prior contract.
  • McLaurin’s leverage stemmed from five straight 1,000-yard seasons and a 2024 output of 82 receptions, 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns during the Commanders’ run to the NFC Championship Game.
