Terry McLaurin is formally a holdout for the Washington Commanders as of Wednesday. According to the Commanders, the exceptional wide receiver was placed on the reserve/did not report list. Sam Cosmi, an offensive lineman, was also added to the PUP list by the Commanders. It is unclear when he is expected to return. Given that all indications led to McLaurin not showing up as early as Tuesday, when the rest of the team first reported, the move is hardly shocking. McLaurin has been looking for a new contract extension during the offseason. The veteran wide receiver would like to sign another multi-year contract before starting this season, as he approaches the last year of his current one.
Although the Commanders have stated that they would like to retain McLaurin, it seems that negotiations for a new agreement have not progressed much thus far. On Tuesday morning, Commanders General Manager Adam Peters told reporters, “There is no question that everyone in this building values Terry very much.” “We’ve recently had discussions and hope to have more, and we’ll do everything in our power to close a deal. We want to close a long-term agreement, so make sure that every communication is honest and sincere. You’re dealing with a tremendously good player and person, and you never lose sight of that. We want to keep him here because he is an excellent player.
According to a recent source, McLaurin is not yet ready to explore for a trade. It would require a new agreement to allow him back inside the building, but he is determined to stay in Washington. Washington would benefit from taking care of McLaurin as quickly as possible, given that the Commanders see themselves as title contenders with a young, talented quarterback in the mix.
McLaurin caught 82 catches for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns the previous season. Since his sophomore year, McLaurin has amassed more than 1,000 yards annually, but last season, with Jayden Daniels under center, he scored more than ever before.
The team of McLaurin and Daniels is formidable. Keeping things together for the long run would be best for Washington. Maybe they’ll come up with a good solution soon.
