Overview

  • Terry McLaurin publicly voiced his frustration on July 15 after confirming no extension discussions with Washington in over a month and saying he is undecided about attending training camp.
  • The wide receiver skipped mandatory minicamp in June and was fined $104,768 under NFL rules for missing required sessions.
  • Entering 2025 under the final year of a three-year, $68.2 million deal at a $23.2 million average, McLaurin is seeking a new contract north of $30 million per year following recent market comparables like Garrett Wilson’s $32.5 million AAV.
  • McLaurin’s five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024 underpin his leverage and underscore his role as a key target for quarterback Jayden Daniels.
  • With veterans due in Ashburn, Virginia, on July 22, the Commanders face a cap and continuity dilemma that could trigger daily fines, a training-camp hold-in or trade discussions if no deal is reached.
