Overview

  • McLaurin submitted a formal trade request on July 31 after contract extension talks stalled, marking an escalation from earlier holdout tactics.
  • Washington general manager Adam Peters has reiterated the team’s commitment to keeping McLaurin even as leaguewide trade interest mounts.
  • The 29-year-old wideout is on the active/PUP list with an ankle issue after finally reporting to camp, avoiding further fines for missed workouts.
  • He enters his final contract year with a $15.5 million base salary and a $25.5 million cap hit, fueling his push for a top-market extension.
  • Coming off 82 catches, 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2024, McLaurin seeks a new deal in the $32–33 million per year range to align with elite receiver benchmarks.
