Overview

  • The agreement runs three years for a base value of $87 million and up to $96 million with incentives, including a $30 million signing bonus and about $44.65 million guaranteed.
  • McLaurin practiced Wednesday for the first time since his hold-in, drawing a warm reception from teammates and participating in team drills with quarterback Jayden Daniels.
  • The extension ends a months-long standoff that featured a skipped minicamp, daily training camp fines, a brief PUP designation for an ankle issue, and a formal trade request before his Aug. 16 activation.
  • General manager Adam Peters said the team will monitor McLaurin’s ramp-up and make snap-count decisions for the Sept. 7 opener against the Giants based on readiness.
  • Coming off 82 catches, 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, McLaurin emphasized his durability and chemistry with Daniels as Washington aims to build on last season’s 12-5 campaign.
