After skipping mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute, there could be a price of 30 million per season, which is like the price range that Terry McLaurin is probably looking for. According to the report, many sources believe McLaurin will ask for at least in the range of $30 million per season in his next contract. It’s easy to see why he wants to be one of the highest-paid in the league after leading this pass-catching unit in touchdowns last season and helping second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels feel comfortable in the driver’s seat this offseason. Even without an adequate quarterback in Washington, it didn’t stop McLaurin from putting in the work to become a reliable weapon for the Commanders.
Originally selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the former Ohio State product may miss NFL Training Camp if it comes down to waiting for the right deal. The asking price might be what’s holding the Commanders back from agreeing on an idea. Despite trading for Deebo Samuel this offseason, the team can’t afford to lose their top contributor of this offseason, who has been a crucial part of Daniels’ growth within this offense. However, things might happen where a trade could be possible if the two parties can’t come to a closure in time for preparation before the 2025 campaign.
If he doesn’t sign a new contract with Washington, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he ends up requesting a trade instead and signs a long-term deal with these two teams.
RUMOR: “30 Million” Could Be Asking Price for Superstar Playmaker Terry McLaurin – Chargers, Patriots Top Best Fits
Long-Term Insurance for Herbert
This would be a groundbreaking moment for the Los Angeles Chargers if they could get a chance to land someone like McLaurin. The Chargers might have weapons that will keep them alive in ball games, but what they need is a reliable difference-maker that’s going to help quarterback Justin Herbert become a leader, and the disgruntled wide receiver could do just that in Los Angeles. Between Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, Mike Williams and Ladd McConkey, there are at least 2/4 weapons that could somehow produce a lot of results to move the chains.
Harris is untested and is still adjusting to NFL life. However, Johnston is on thin ice; he could get cut if he doesn’t improve in his third year in the league. With the addition of McLaurin, they wouldn’t have to worry about the state of their wide receiver room for the time being, which helps McConkey at the end of the day since he made first real impression in his rookie year.
New Life, New England
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are, for the first time, building a new reliable regime that might last for a decade under head coach Mike Vrabel since the Bill Belichick Era. Despite signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in attempts to solidify this passing game, there is still a ton of competition in that room. Between Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker, Demario Douglas and Ja’Lynn Polk, it’s anyone’s job up for grabs. While most may land on the practice squad, they should get another WR1 to help Diggs in the aerial attack to support quarterback Drake Maye.
