Overview

  • McLaurin ended a brief holdout on July 27 by reporting to camp in Ashburn; he was immediately placed on the active/PUP list with an ankle injury.
  • Fines for missed training sessions have been paused while McLaurin presses for a two- to three-year extension worth more than $30 million per season.
  • Washington has resisted matching his top-tier valuation and is considering five-day contract termination letters along with reserve/left squad designations as leverage.
  • On July 31, McLaurin formally requested a trade, positioning himself for interest from other teams if no deal is reached.
  • The impasse looms ahead of the September 7 season opener against the Giants, with both sides eyeing a resolution this week.
