There was a sense of inevitability about what came next in the contract standoff between Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders. Fans don't like it, and rightfully so, but this is all part of the business.
McLaurin wants a new deal. He's willing to take drastic action to get it. The Commanders are dug in, failing to meet the wide receiver's valuation as they look for an agreement that benefits the player and the franchise.
Both sides remain far apart on some middle ground, according to reports. Adam Peters revealed that they are still working through things in pursuit of reaching their common goal.
