Latest NFL rumors say Commanders were never going to trade Terry McLaurin

The Washington Commanders finally brought an end to weeks of consternation and signed star wide receiver Terry McLaurin to a contract extension. McLaurin's contract will pay him as much as $96 million over three years, which will keep Jayden Daniels' top target in town for years to come.

The McLaurin saga, which began when he requested a trade after six seasons in the nation's capital, helped get fans from all over the league foaming at the mouth as they tried to come up with the best hypothetical trade package possible.

As interesting as the McLaurin trade sweepstakes was for other emerging contenders and dynastic teams alike, the latest reports make it sound like there was no real shot of Washington ever letting the former Ohio State star escape their grasp.
