At last, the long national nightmare is over, and the Washington Commanders have finally paid wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
The two-time Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro received a three-year extension worth up to $96 million, which keeps him under contract with the Commanders through the 2028 season. It ensures McLaurin will stay in Washington until he is 33 years old and completes his 10th season in the NFL.
It's a reward of McLaurin's loyalty to Washington, as well as to all of those fans who stuck it out through thick and thin.
