The Commanders placed McLaurin on the did not report list on Wednesday morning, which sets the stage for daily fines of $50,000 until the wideout joins the club to prepare for the 2025 season. McLaurin opted not to report because he wants a new contract with the team that would presumably make any short-term losses easier to swallow.
Former Washington coach Jay Gruden says the team must secure a new deal for star WR Terry McLaurin, calling his absence a major concern for the offense.
As Commanders training camp got underway on Tuesday, NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed that Terry McLaurin was not in attendance as he seeks a new deal.
Though McLaurin has publicly expressed his frustration with his contract, the Commanders' G.M. said he's expecting McLaurin to report to training camp.
Second on the board to potentially acquire McLaurin's services are the New England Patriots. The Pats have not had a 1,000-yard receiver since the 2019 regular season, when Tom Brady was throwing passes to Julian Edelman (1,117 yards).
