Terry McLaurin Considers Missing Commanders Minicamp Over Extension Stalemate

He left voluntary workouts after stalled talks on a long-term deal tested his patience.

Overview

  • McLaurin has informed the front office he may skip the mandatory minicamp beginning June 10 if a new contract isn’t finalized
  • He enters 2025 on the final year of his deal with a $15.5 million salary and could reach free agency in 2026 without an extension
  • The All-Pro receiver initially attended voluntary offseason sessions but departed once it became clear that negotiations had barely progressed
  • His five straight 1,000-yard seasons and recent All-Pro honor underscore his role as a key leader for second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels
  • Coaches warn that a potential holdout could become a significant distraction and disrupt preparations for the upcoming season
