Overview

  • The deal carries an average of about $32 million per year with a reported $30 million signing bonus, placing McLaurin tied for sixth among NFL wideouts by AAV, per Spotrac.
  • Contract reporting indicates roughly $44 million guaranteed and annual incentives tied to availability, receptions, yards, touchdowns and All‑Pro honors, including benchmarks such as 83 catches, 1,097 yards and 10 TDs with higher payouts if Washington makes the playoffs.
  • Agents Buddy Baker and Tony Bonagura confirmed the agreement to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, with NFL Network also reporting the terms.
  • The extension ends a summer standoff that included missed minicamp, fines, a PUP stint on July 27, a formal trade request on July 31 and activation on Aug. 16.
  • McLaurin, 29, returns as WR1 after a 2024 season with 82 receptions, 1,096 yards and a franchise‑record 13 TDs, reinforcing the receiving corps alongside Deebo Samuel for quarterback Jayden Daniels ahead of the Sept. 7 opener versus the Giants.
