Team news: Washington Commanders | Page 8

Commanders General Manager Adam Peters said earlier Tuesday that the team is going to do everything it can to get Terry McLaurin signed to an extension. The star wide receiver, though, remains without an extension and thus did not report to training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McLaurin is the only player missing from camp.

He expressed his frustration last week at the lack of progress on a deal.

McLaurin is headed into the final year of his contract set to make $15.5 million in base salary. McLaurin, 29, has topped 1,000 yards in each of the past five seasons and has not missed a game since 2020. With Jayden Daniels at quarterback in 2024, he produced a new career-high 13 touchdowns, the story said.

Adam Peters on Terry McLaurin: "First, without a doubt, I think everybody in this building values Terry very much. We knew that coming in and we know that even more after spending a year with him. ... We'll do whatever we can to get a deal done."

Reports say McLaurin could report but be a hold-in for camp, meaning he won't take part in drills. We rank McLaurin 20th among our WRs with an ADP of the early-to-mid fourth round.

Terry McLaurin hasn’t announced whether he’ll attend the Washington Commanders’ training camp if the two sides can't agree on a contract extension. He also hasn’t decided whether he’ll ask for a trade. McLaurin, an All-Pro receiver and team captain, is most interested in "trying to bring a deal together, not breaking the team apart," according to a source close to McLaurin.

The story went on to say that's why all eyes will be on McLaurin when Washington veterans report on Tuesday for the start of camp, particularly after he skipped mandatory minicamp this offseason. The story added that McLaurin will explore every option, including a holdout, a hold-in and a trade request, per the source. "Everything will be on the table," the source said to the author of the story, Henry McKenna.

On Tuesday, Terry McLaurin said that he’s unhappy with the lack of progress that’s been made toward a new deal.

“I’ve been pretty frustrated, I’m not gonna lie,” McLaurin said, via JP Finlay of NBC Washington. “Everything that has transpired up to this point has been disappointing and frustrating. I’ve wanted to continue my career here, created my life here. My wife and I bought our first home here so this is somewhere where I’ve always wanted to be. Just to see how things have played out is disappointing.”

The story went on to say McLaurin did not attend the Commanders’ offseason workouts as he looks for a contract that will keep him in Washington beyond the 2025 season. McLaurin has a base salary of $15.5 million for the coming season, which lags far behind the numbers in Garrett Wilson’s new deal and those signed by a number of other receivers since McLaurin signed his pact with the NFC East team, the story said.

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin will not be at mandatory veteran minicamp as he seeks a new contract.

It's probably not the worst idea for McLaurin to capitalize on his massive 82-1096-13 first season with quarterback Jayden Daniels. We would expect this to clear itself up before it impacts the regular season, but we'll keep an eye on it.

Former Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M.

Related Player: Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks

Solid signing to add some more stability to the WR room ahead of the (presumptive) selection of QB Cam Ward at No. 1. This doesn't at all preclude the team from grabbing some more pieces through the Draft, and Lockett is more of a role player than one who the offense runs through at this point of his career, so he should be considered a deep WR5 flier in fantasy land.

Three-time time Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz is re-signing with the Commanders, per source. It’s a one-year deal worth $6.25 million with a max value of $9M.

Related Players: Ben Sinnott

Ertz had a resurgent season with Washington, hitting 60+ receptions for the first time since 2021. There should still be opportunity for Ertz in an ascending offense but as more of a TE2 than a TE1.

Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) are both questionable for Sunday vs. Cleveland.

Related Players: Malik Washington, River Cracraft, Jonnu Smith

Waddle feels like the more likely candidate to miss, but it's been reported that Tyreek has been playing through ailments through most of the season. Consider Hill a WR2 if he suits up.

Shanahan said Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) was trending well and is expected to practice this week.

Related players: Patrick Taylor, Deebo Samuel

The Niners play on Monday night at home against the Lions. So those waiting on Guerendo may want to have a backup plan. Hopefully owners will get more information about his status well before that. He should be in line for a big workload, if he plays, just given his draft capital and past usage as the team's now RB1. Samuel would likely get some carries as well.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.
