Terry McLaurin (or his agent) felt slighted enough by the Washington Commanders to hand in a trade request. Most fans are still expecting a new extension to be the outcome of this ongoing saga, but it remains a dark cloud enveloping the franchise until further notice.
And one NFL analyst believes that if the Commanders had any sense, they would pay the wide receiver whatever he wants and worry about the rest later.
The Commanders are playing hardball. McLaurin wants to be paid like one of the league's most prolific wideouts. However, general manager Adam Peters is looking for an agreement that gives Washington some flexibility if the production drops off at any stage.
