Terry McLaurin's contract dispute and a rash of injuries have played roles in some uncertainty as the regular season approaches.

Metcalf signed a five-year, $150 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers this spring after acquiring him in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, making him one of the NFL's highest-paid receivers. McLaurin comes off a career-best 13 touchdowns last fall as Washington's leading playmaker on offense.

Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is no exception. He is due a new contract after the 2025 season, and he wants to put pen to paper on an extension sooner rather than later. McLaurin also wants to go ahead and ink a long-term deal because he is 29 and not getting any younger.

Commanders are reportedly shopping RB Brian Robinson Jr. ahead of the NFL season, with rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt impressing in preseason.

Terry McLaurin said earlier this month he wanted to stay with the Washington Commanders. Now the star wide receiver is angling to play elsewhere, requesting a trade from the team

“McLaurin became a hold-in and was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an apparent ankle injury suffered last season, though he participated in spring workouts. By reporting, McLaurin could no longer be fined $50,000 per day,” ESPN’s John Keim wrote.
