Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders, is just one of many NFL players who are seeking a contract extension this offseason. McLaurin has been strongly pushing for an extension as he is in the final year of his current one. Yet, it looks like the Commanders’ side has been awfully quiet, which has led to tensions between the two parties.
In his staunchness for an extension, McLaurin has been visibly absent from the training camp, leading to mixed reactions from fans and analysts. Adam Peters, the general manager of the Washington Commanders recently spoke to press reporters about McLaurin and shared his optimism about a deal solidifying pretty soon.
“Just like with all of our players, we expect him (McLaurin) to be here today. First, without a doubt, I think everybody in this building values Terry very much. We knew that coming in and we know that even more after spending a year with him. … We’ll do whatever we can to get a deal done.” Adam Peters spoke about Terry McLaurin’s contract extension with the Washington Commanders.
Terry McLaurin has spent the entirety of his NFL career with the Washington Commanders after the team bagged him in the third round of the draft. McLaurin quickly rose up to the ranks and established himself as a talented wide-out, contributing 82 receptions and 13 touchdowns in the 2024 NFL season alone.
Terry McLaurin Admits Being Frustrated About Status Of Negotiations
Just last week, Terry McLaurin himself asked about his thoughts on the ongoing contract negotiations with the Washington Commanders management. McLaurin’s response was very much in contrast when compared to that of general manager Adam Peters.
“Without any progress in discussions it’s kind of hard to see how I step on the field. I want to be here. I want to make that abundantly clear. It takes two to tango” Terry McLaurin spoke to reporters last week.
The wide receiver also remarked that he definitely deserves what he’s asking for because of his contributions to the team, both on and off the field. However, it seems like McLaurin’s side is the only one which has been pushing for a solid deal with the team.
Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders themselves have a lot on their plate after being threatened by none other than the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to go back to their former name, the Washington Redskins. President Trump’s statements have been both applauded and condemned but are yet to get a statement from the team.
