The Washington Commanders broke out as one of the most improved teams in the NFL last season. Yet, after reaching the NFC Conference Championship, Washington’s front office has set out to take another leap forward.
Much of the Commanders’ offseason has been spent upgrading the roster, adding players like Deebo Samuel and Terron Armstead, to name a few. Yet, the season has yet to begin, and another one of their Pro Bowl players is already upset with the team.
According to [ESPN’s NFL insider Jeremy Fowler](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25223311-terry-mclaurin-reportedly-not-happy-commanders-contract-extension-talks), two-time Pro Bowl receiver Terry McLaurin is “not happy with where things are with an extension.”
Yet, Fowler doesn’t believe there’s a reason to panic quite yet, as the Commanders have a “couple of weeks to make progress” before the team’s training camp kicks off on July 27.
While the Commanders did acquire another star receiver in Samuel, they didn’t do so with the intention of replacing or getting rid of McLaurin. In a perfect world, the two would work in a tandem, helping strengthen an already strong Commanders offense.
For now, McLaurin is set to have a $25.5 million cap hit in 2025, but it’s also the final year of his contract. In other words, it’s understandable that he’d want some sort of long-term commitment from Washington, the only NFL team he’s ever known.
