Things have become interesting for Washington commanders, as a starred receiver, Terry McLaurin, who is held at the training camp, would have asked for a job.
Commanders and McLaurin did not see an eye on a contract extension, and the initiate of the NFL, Jordan Schultz, reported Thursday that McLaurin now wanted to go out.
It seemed that this contractual situation would lead to a commercial request from McLaurin, but he reported a training camp earlier this week. It was placed on the active / puppy list due to an ankle injury.

McLaurin, who has totaled more than 1,000 yards in each of his last five seasons, has another year on his $ 71 million contract he signed with Washington in 2022.
McLaurin seeks to be one of the best passes in the league financially, with an agreement that would be around $ 32 million per season.

If McLaurin was to obtain an agreement with this average annual value, this would do it right outside the upper level of NFL receivers. Ja’Marr Chase des Bengals de Cincinnati, Justin Jefferson of Minnesota Vikings and the Ceedee lamb of Dallas Cowboys are respectively the best paid receptors of the NFL.
The current requested price for McLaurin would do it in the Pittsburgh Steelers DK Metcalf range ($ 33 million per season), Garrett Wilson from New York Jets ($ 32.5 million) and AJ Brown by Philadelphia Eagles ($ 32 million).
But while Metcalf has two years younger than McLaurin, for example, they are in the same draft class. And they have comparable statistics.

Metcalf totaled 438 receptions for 6,324 yards and 48 affected in its time with Seattle Seahawks. McLaurin collected 460 receptions for 6,379 yards with 38 scores.
McLaurin held the first four days of the training camp, which transported a fine of $ 50,000 a day. By relating to the camp and being a reservoir, McLaurin avoids other Washington fines.
Several points of sale reported that the commanders had no intention of exchanging McLaurin, who would be a free agent after the season if an agreement is not agreed.
“You would like to do these things faster, but that does not always happen in this way,” said Director General Adam Peters on the first day of the training camp, by ESPN.

“Whatever happens along the way, just understand that he is a great player and we want to keep it here.”
