There is speculation that the Commanders could trade Terry McLaurin or that this holdout saga could drag on into the season; we buy neither of those suggestions.

Washington Commanders star receiver Terry McLaurin has skipped mandatory minicamp this week over his unhappiness with negotiations for a new contract.

Considering that McLaurin is eligible for NFL free agency next offseason, there’s added incentive for Washington to get a deal done. While the Commanders’ receiver might receive just under the four-year, $132 million extension that Metcalf received, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he gets a multi-year deal in July worth around $32 million per year.
