Wide Receiver Terry McLaurin Has Requested a Trade From the Commanders, AP Sources Say
WASHINGTON, JUL 31 – Terry McLaurin requested a trade after contract talks stalled despite a franchise-record 13 touchdowns in 2024, as the Commanders seek to retain their star wide receiver.
- Terry McLaurin, a receiver for the Washington Commanders, has asked to be traded from the team amid ongoing contract disagreements and issues during training camp as of July 2025.
- McLaurin asked for a move because he and the Commanders have not agreed on a satisfactory contract extension despite ongoing negotiations.
- McLaurin recently missed the start of training camp due to an ankle injury and related holdout, leading to a $200,000 fine and placement on the PUP list.
- In 2025, McLaurin's salary cap impact for Washington will be $25.5 million, and if the team decides to trade him, they could free up $19.9 million in cap space while taking on a $5.6 million dead cap charge.
- The Commanders intend to re-sign McLaurin, calling him a valued player, while McLaurin expressed frustration but said he wants to be paid fairly and recognized for his contributions.
