Overview

• McLaurin publicly voiced his frustration, saying talks have been “disappointing and frustrating” and confirming no extension discussions in over a month.
• He skipped mandatory minicamp in early June, incurring a $104,768 fine as leverage while contract negotiations stalled.
• The 29-year-old enters the final season of his three-year, $68.2 million deal and is seeking a new extension with an average annual value above $30 million.
• The franchise has added Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil this offseason and holds significant cap flexibility through Jayden Daniels’ rookie contract, strengthening its position in talks.
• With veterans due to report July 22, McLaurin’s decision on training camp attendance remains unresolved, putting pressure on both sides to break the impasse.
