Terry McLaurin is looking to be paid in keeping with some of the league's best wide receivers. Unfortunately for the player, the Washington Commanders are basing their valuation on what he could do for the franchise moving forward.
And according to one respected team insider, the major issue lies in the metrics.
McLaurin has done everything in his power to force the issue. He skipped voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp. He held out of training camp before holding in on the physically unable to perform list. He even sent shockwaves through the organization by handing in a trade request.
