Commanders Sign Terry McLaurin To $96M Three-Year Extension

The Washington Commanders have resolved their offseason contract holdout with star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, signing him to a three-year, $96 million extension that includes a $30 million signing bonus. This deal ends a tense period during which McLaurin missed mandatory mini-camps, was fined, and requested a trade, which the team rejected. The extension has been warmly welcomed by teammates, including wide receiver Deebo Samuel, recently acquired from the 49ers, and second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels, who expressed excitement on social media about having his primary target secured. McLaurin has been the Commanders’ most consistent offensive weapon since being drafted in 2019, leading the team in receiving yards for six seasons and playing a crucial role in their 12-5 record and NFC Championship appearance last year. Daniels, who was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, now looks forward to continuing his successful connection with McLaurin and Samuel, forming a dynamic trio expected to bolster Washington's offensive potential in the 2025 season. With the contract dispute behind them, the Commanders enter the new season with renewed optimism and a strengthened passing game.
