Overview

• After Garrett Wilson signed a four-year, $130 million extension with a $32.5 million average annual value on July 14, McLaurin has cited that deal to press for a similar top-tier salary.
• McLaurin enters the final year of his current three-year, $69.6 million contract earning $23.2 million AAV and is now seeking a new deal exceeding $30 million per season.
• He has openly expressed frustration over stalled negotiations, confirming he wants to stay in Washington despite no recent contract proposals.
• McLaurin skipped mandatory minicamp in early June and was fined $104,768 under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement.
• The Commanders maintain that Wilson’s extension does not change their approach to McLaurin’s talks even as offseason cap moves provided roster flexibility.
