Terry McLaurin Holdout Deepens Ahead of Training Camp

Training camp looms days away with no extension reached, raising pressure from NFL veterans to pay Washington’s leading receiver now.

Overview

  • McLaurin has sat out both voluntary and mandatory offseason workouts and remains absent from team activities pending a new deal.
  • Washington applied the franchise tag for 2025 but has made no meaningful progress to bridge the widening gap between the team’s offer and McLaurin’s market value.
  • At least five franchises, including Denver, Las Vegas and Buffalo, are reportedly evaluating trade offers for the All-Pro receiver if no extension materializes.
  • Former Commanders quarterback Joe Theismann likened McLaurin’s impact to Jerry Rice and urged the franchise to secure a long-term deal immediately.
  • With training camp opening in under two weeks, the holdout risks extending into the regular season and unsettling Washington’s offense.
