Overview

• McLaurin has skipped all voluntary and mandatory offseason workouts as contract extension talks have stalled.
• He enters 2025 under the franchise tag with a $25.5 million cap hit and is seeking compensation near $30 million per year.
• At least five teams, including the Broncos, Raiders, Patriots, Jets and 49ers, are reportedly sketching trade proposals in case McLaurin remains unsigned.
• The holder of five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, McLaurin’s market value has surged in a rising receiver pay landscape.
• With training camp set to open in weeks, the Commanders must either seal a long-term deal or consider parting with their top pass-catcher.
