Jayden Daniels had a lot to say about a disgruntled teammate during an interview with The Athletic’s Dianna Russini on the latest episode of “Scoop City.”
Daniels raised eyebrows when he said during Monday’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals that he knew unsettled wide receiver Terry McLaurin would “be coming through the door soon.”
McLaurin, who has been the subject of trade rumors, is unhappy with his current deal and would like to have another one to step on the field in 2025.
The Washington Commanders have worked diligently to put the necessary pieces in place for Daniels to succeed, but one stone remains unturned.
While speaking with Russini, a picture was taken of the two near the Commanders’ practice field.

The Washington Commanders already traded one disgruntled offensive skill-position player, but superstar second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels certainly does not want that to happen with his favorite wideout.
Daniels told The Athletic’s Dianna Russini he feels “great” about the Commanders’ situation with McLaurin.
Washington, which reportedly tried to send McLaurin to the Steelers in a trade, has been unwilling to give him a new contract averaging at least $33 million per year, which is what he reportedly wants.
McLaurin has 460 catches for 6,379 receiving yards and 38 touchdowns in six seasons with the Commanders, but is coming off arguably his most effective season as a pro in 2024.
He had 82 catches and set a new career high in touchdowns with 13 while also posting his fifth straight 1,000-plus-yard season with 1,096.
Jayden Daniels has faith that McLaurin and the Commanders will get a deal done.
“Hundred percent, I feel great (about the McLaurin contract situation),” Daniels told Russini.
“I just know that it is all gonna work out, that both sides will come to an agreement, and Terry’s gonna be back out here. We’re gonna be throwing some passes to him.”
