Terry McLaurin contract extension saves Commanders offense

The Washington Commanders are excited to have wide receiver Terry McLaurin back on the field after he spent a majority of training camp on the sidelines healing from an ankle injury and settling a contract dispute.

Now that his ankle is healed and his contract is settled, the Commanders have McLaurin back on the field, where his offensive teammates should appreciate having him back in the lineup.

"Following its best season in decades, Washington could not afford to enter the 2025 campaign with the contract impasse hanging over them. The negotiations had already dominated headlines, beginning with McLaurin expressing his frustration in a 30-minute news conference July 15, failing to report to camp a week later, then holding out the first four days -- and being fined $200,000 -- before becoming a hold-in and requesting a trade, which, multiple team sources said, was not a surprise to the organization," ESPN insider John Keim wrote.
