Terry McLaurin demands a contract near $32 million per season, similar to D.K. Metcalf's deal. The Washington Commanders have offered around $23 million, leaving a gap of $7-8 million. Despite interest from other teams, the Commanders have no intention of trading him. The situation has resulted in a prolonged holdout, with both sides far apart in negotiations. Commanders general manager Adam Peters appears committed to a fallback plan while negotiating McLaurin's future with the team, highlighting the complexity of the situation due to McLaurin's age.
He has wanted metrics of this D.K. Metcalf contract, which is $32 million [per season]. I'm told the Washington Commanders have only been slightly above where he was before, which is $23 million. Take that gap $7-8 million, that they have to bridge. And Washington, I'm told, has gotten some calls about [Terry] McLaurin. There is interest league-wide. They have no interest in trading him still. This is a classic standoff that you're about to see.
Fowler also thought, citing conversations with people around the league, that the Commanders are about $7-8 million off McLaurin's current demands. That's a whopping gap to make up, which has led to a long holdout and trade request to pile on the pressure.
