Standout wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, has signed a three-year, $71,000,000 contract extension with the Washington Commanders. The agreement will include a record-high $28,000,000 signing bonus and an annual salary north of $23,000,000. McLaurin’s new deal will now make him one of the highest-paid wideouts in the NFL.
Terry McLaurin’s Background:
The Commanders drafted McLaurin as a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Quickly following his arrival in Washington, McLaurin rose through the depth chart to establish himself as the go-to target. In his three years as a Commander, McLaurin has already hauled in over 3,000 receiving yards and 16 TDs. The 26-year-old’s game is highlighted by his flawless route running and ability to catch contested passes. Despite having started alongside eight different QBs throughout his career, Scary Terry has led the Commanders in nearly every receiving statistic. Given Washington’s mediocre talent at the quarterback position, McLaurin’s productivity is extremely impressive.
As a rising fourth-year receiver, It’s safe to say that Terry McLaurin has yet to reach his full potential. In 2022, expect number 17 to remain WR1 and to once again play a major role in the Washington offense. The Commander’s surely have a superstar in Terry McLaurin. Money well spent for Washington.
