Terry McLaurin is staying home as the Washington Commanders participate in joint practices and a preseason game. He feels disrespected and wants a contract extension to be among the league's best-paid receivers. General Manager Adam Peters is hesitant to offer a large contract given McLaurin's impending age. Despite a drastic trade request, there is belief that McLaurin does not wish to leave. His demand for guaranteed money is central to negotiations, with the Commanders' WR depth potentially strengthening his bargaining position.
The Commanders' lack of depth at WR is concerning. Terry McLaurin didn't have a ton of leverage in contract negotiations with the team, but that part is growing increasingly favorable for him.
Nobody believes he wants to leave the Commanders. It's about standing his ground in pursuit of what will probably be the last big payday of his career.
