Reports: Commanders WR requests trade amid contract talks

The Washington Commanders made a run to the NFC championship game for the first time in more than 30 years last season. However, they may be without one of their top players this year as they try to build on that success.

Top wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade out of Washington, per multiple reports. The 29-year-old is seeking an extension as he enters the final year of the three-year extension he signed prior to the 2022 season.

Washington drafted McLaurin in the third round, No. 76 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft and he’s been the team’s leading receiver every year of his career.

With rookie Jayden Daniels at quarterback in 2024, McLaurin set a career-high with 13 touchdowns and earned second-team All-Pro honors for the first time. He also made his second Pro Bowl.

McLaurin is set to count $25.5 million against the salary cap for Washington in 2025. It’s the final year of his second NFL contract.

He was present for the start of training camp but was not participating due to an ankle injury.

‘We’re just taking it day by day,’ McLaurin said after practice on July 28.

Terry McLaurin contract details

McLaurin is in the final year of his extension with the Commanders entering his age-30 season. Here’s the specifics of the contract for 2025, per OverTheCap:

  • Base salary: $15.5 million
  • Bonuses:
    • $5.6 million signing bonus
    • $2.8 million roster bonus
    • $850,000 bonus per game
    • $500,000 workout bonus
    • $250,000 other bonus
  • Guaranteed money: $2.8 million
  • Salary cap hit: $25.5 million

Without changing any details in the contract, the Commanders will incur a dead cap hit of $5.6 million in 2025 by trading him but save $19.9 million.
