Washington Commanders Agree Three-Year Extension with WR Terry McLaurin

Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders have reached a three-year, $96 million contract extension, ending a protracted holdout and securing the star wide receiver through the 2028 season. The deal, with an average annual value of $32 million, ties McLaurin as the sixth highest-paid receiver in the NFL and provides him with significant financial security entering his age-30 season. McLaurin, a two-time Pro Bowler and a consistent presence on the field, has recorded five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons and played a vital role in the Commanders' recent success, including their run to the NFC Championship Game in 2024. The extension resolves tensions from negotiations and allows McLaurin and the team to focus on building on their recent playoff achievements, particularly the promising quarterback-receiver duo of Jaden Daniels and McLaurin. With McLaurin now fully committed, Washington aims to replicate or surpass their recent success, leveraging his proven reliability and production. This deal ends uncertainty for both parties and solidifies McLaurin's place as a franchise cornerstone.
