- Terry McLaurin formally requested a trade on July 31 following a standstill in negotiations over a long-term extension
- He reported to training camp under the PUP designation and has incurred $50,000 in weekly fines for his initial holdout
- Commanders management has informed interested teams they have no intention of parting with their top receiver
- McLaurin enters the final year of his deal and is reportedly seeking an average annual value near $32 million, a figure Washington deems excessive given his impending 30th birthday
