Terry McLaurin’s Contract Standoff With Commanders Drags On After PUP Return as New Report Hikes His Ask

A fresh account indicates his price now exceeds DK Metcalf’s $33 million benchmark.

Overview

  • Washington activated McLaurin off the PUP list over the weekend, but he remains without an extension after a formal trade request earlier this summer.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says McLaurin has sought roughly $33 million per year, while Washington is positioned around or just under $30 million.
  • The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports no meaningful movement in talks and widespread league views that a fair range is closer to $27–28 million per year.
  • A new report from The Athletic, relayed Wednesday by Yardbarker, says a source believes McLaurin has asked for more than Metcalf’s $33 million AAV.
  • McLaurin did not attend Monday’s preseason game in Cincinnati, and while multiple ESPN insiders say Washington is not planning a trade, one predicts a compromise deal could arrive before Week 1.
