Things have just been interesting for Washington commanders, since the Terry McLaurin stars, which has been celebrated in the training field, according to reports, requested an exchange.
The commanders and McLaurin have not been looking at a contract extension, and NFL informant Jordan Schultz reported Thursday that McLaurin now wants to leave.
It seemed that this contract situation would lead to a commercial request from McLaurin, but informed the training camp earlier this week. It was placed on the active/puppy list due to an ankle injury.

McLaurin, who has totaled more than 1,000 yards in each of his last five seasons, has a remaining year in his $ 71 million contract he signed with Washington in 2022.
McLaurin seeks to be among the main passing receptors in the league financially, with an agreement that is believed to be around $ 32 million per season.

If McLaurin obtained an agreement with that average annual value, it would have it just outside the upper step of the NFL receptors. Ja’Mar Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals, Justin Jefferson and Ceedee Lamb of Minnesota Vikings are the best paid receptors of the NFL today, respectively.
The current sale price for McLaurin would have it in the DK Metcalf range of Pittsburgh Steelers ($ 33 million per season), Garrett Wilson of New York Jets ($ 32.5 million) and AJ Brown by Philadelphia Eagles ($ 32 million).
But although Metcalf is two years younger than McLaurin, for example, they are in the same kind of draft. And they have some comparable statistics.

Metcalf totaled 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in his time with the Seattle Seahawks. McLaurin has counted 460 receptions for 6,379 yards with 38 scores.
McLaurin stopped the first four days of training camp, which took a fine of $ 50,000 per day. By informing the camp and being a control, McLaurin avoids more Washington fines.
Multiple media have reported that the commanders have no intention of exchanging McLaurin, which would be a free agent after the season if an agreement is not agreed.
“You would like to do these things faster, but it doesn’t always happen that way,” said General Manager Adam Peters the first day of the training camp, according to ESPN.

“Whatever happens on the way, just understand that he is a great player and we want to keep it here.”
