Terry McLaurin arrived at Washington Commanders training camp on the physically unable to perform list due to an ankle injury after holding out for four days. He seeks a contract extension with one year remaining on his current deal. Coach Dan Quinn noted McLaurin will train on the sidelines. The general manager emphasized the importance of straightforward communication in contract negotiations. McLaurin hinted that his desired contract reflects the current market value for players of his caliber.
"It's the nature of our business," Washington general manager Adam Peters said on the first day of camp. "You'd like to get these things done quicker, but it doesn't always happen that way."
McLaurin said earlier this month that he would not step on the field without 'progression' toward a new contract. His reporting does not necessarily mean there has been progress considering he's not expected to participate.
McLaurin has not publicly stated what sort of contract he is looking for, but he said last week that 'with how the market is today, it conveys what guys of my caliber are deserving of.'
Coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin will work off to the side with trainers, and it's uncertain if the veteran will participate in practice once his ankle has recovered.
