Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin will have enough time to ramp up to face the Giants on Sept. 7 after rejoining practice Wednesday.
  • The deal includes a $30 million signing bonus, roughly $44.65 million guaranteed, an $87 million base, and incentives that can take it to $96 million.
  • The agreement followed skipped minicamp, a holdout and hold-in with fines, a brief PUP stint for an ankle issue, and a July 31 trade request that McLaurin says was sincere.
  • Teammates gave McLaurin a standing ovation when the news broke, and GM Adam Peters detailed steady talks and a desire to keep him in Washington.
  • Coming off a fifth straight 1,000-yard season and a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, McLaurin resumes chemistry with Daniels as Washington integrates additions such as Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil.
