Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin said Tuesday that negotiations on a new contract have been dormant for more than a month and described the stalemate as “pretty frustrating” and “disappointing.” The two-time Pro Bowler, who turns 30 in September, stressed he wants to remain in Washington but added that “without any progressive discussions, it’s hard to see how I step on the field.” McLaurin is entering the final season of the three-year, $68.2 million extension he signed in 2022, a deal that now ranks just 17th among NFL receivers by average annual value. Market prices have climbed sharply—Garrett Wilson secured $32.5 million a year from the New York Jets this week—leaving McLaurin’s $23.2 million average well below the top tier despite five straight 1,000-yard campaigns and a career-best 13 touchdowns in 2024. Commanders veterans are due to report for training camp on 22 July. McLaurin, who already skipped mandatory minicamp in June and absorbed $104,768 in fines, said he has not decided whether he will report next week. Absent a new agreement, a training-camp holdout would expose him to non-waivable fines of $50,000 per day and deprive first-year starting quarterback Jayden Daniels of his leading target. The club has not publicly addressed the latest remarks, though general manager Adam Peters previously said extending McLaurin was a priority.
