Steelers Get Huge Terry McLaurin Update

The news comes the day after Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury made it known that he believes McLaurin needs to be on the field with the offense instead of just being in meetings and off to the side.

"I don’t know exactly howof that," Kingsbury said. "I think we’re kind of at that point to where we need to start getting those guys, when they’re available, out there and jelling to see where we are as an offense."

Maybe it means that McLaurin is nearing a deal with the Commanders, or that it's simply their move to activate him without any intentions of seeing him begin to work with the offense.

As for the Steelers, insider Mark Kaboly shared that he believes a wide receiver move is coming within the next 10 to 12 days. For many, the name to watch is McLaurin.

"I don't think any time within the next week, but something might be coming down the pike here," Kaboly said. "I'll put it this way: I would not be shocked within the next 10 to 12 days that they add a receiver. I was under the impression that they're just gonna play it out like they are right now. 'We have [Roman] Wilson, [Calvin] Austin, we're going with that'. I was pretty much sure of that. I don't know if I'm as sure of that anymore."

McLaurin is 29-years-old and looking for a contract roughly around $30 million per year. The Steelers have already paid DK Metcalf as their WR1, handing him a deal worth $150 million over five years. But they don't have a dead set WR2, and with Calvin Austin III being injured, everyone is speculating whether or not they make another splash.

In an offseason where the team has been more aggressive than usual, anything is possible. And the McLaurin news may allow them to call Washington and see where things stand.
