Overview

  • Terry McLaurin practiced Wednesday in Ashburn after clearing a prior ankle issue that briefly put him on the PUP list during camp.
  • His three-year extension is valued at a base $87 million with a $30 million signing bonus and up to $96 million through incentives, with $44 million fully guaranteed that converts to $50 million in April 2027.
  • McLaurin said he got what he wanted in the deal, learned of it as teammates applauded in the weight room, and is now under contract through 2028.
  • The pact caps a protracted dispute that included a skipped minicamp, a training-camp hold-in with fines, a trade request on July 31, and subsequent activation on Aug. 16.
  • Washington, coming off a 12-5 season, opens Sept. 7 against the Giants as it integrates offseason additions such as Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil and gauges the readiness of McLaurin and fellow starter Noah Brown.
