Report: McLaurin requests trade from Commanders

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin requested a trade, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

McLaurin, who earned a second-team All-Pro nod in 2024, is entering the last year of his contract and hasn't reached an agreement on an extension.

Multiple teams have considered acquiring McLaurin, but Washington has no interest in dealing its leading pass-catcher, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Commanders general manager Adam Peters said in March that he wanted to sign McLaurin to a long-term deal, but negotiations haven't progressed the way both sides expected.

McLaurin, who's said he wanted to play for Washington his entire career, skipped minicamp and missed the start of training camp amid the stalled contract talks. The 29-year-old joined the team at camp Sunday, but the Commanders later placed him on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury designation while the two sides continued to negotiate.

A two-time Pro Bowler, McLaurin has a base salary of $15.5 million in 2025.

The Ohio State product has led Washington in receiving yards every year since being drafted in the third round in 2019. He has five 1,000-yard seasons under his belt.

McLaurin caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns last year en route to earning his first All-Pro selection and helping the Commanders reach the NFC title game with Jayden Daniels under center.
