Star receiver Terry McLaurin secures a lucrative three-year, $96M contract extension with the Washington Commanders, ending his hold-in before Week 1.
The Washington Commanders have locked in a major deal with their standout wide receiver Terry McLaurin just in time for the 2025 regular season kickoff. McLaurin, who had been in the final stretch of his previous $68M contract, is now set to stay put with the Commanders for another three years with a substantial pay raise.
After a period of uncertainty that saw McLaurin’s trade request looming over the team, the star player’s new average annual salary of $32M will position him among the NFL’s top-paid wide receivers. This significant agreement not only secures McLaurin’s future with the team but also mirrors recent notable extensions in the league, including A.J. Brown’s deal with the Eagles and D.K. Metcalf’s contract with the Steelers.
Despite some tension following a noteworthy move during a preseason game, McLaurin’s commitment to the Commanders is now solidified, bringing relief to fans who were on edge about his playing future. With negotiations progressing in the background, McLaurin’s presence on the field for Week 1 is now certain, marking a positive turn of events after a period of uncertainty.
