Terry McLaurin didn’t want to request a trade, but his continued disappointment has prompted the star receiver to do just that.
The Washington Commanders star pass-catcher requested a trade, as first reported by FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz on Thursday evening.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed Schultz report and noted teams have called Washington. However, the Commanders have “no interest in moving on from him,” Schefter wrote in a follow-up post.
McLaurin has expressed frustration and disappointment regarding his contract. He is entering the final year of his deal, which will pay him a $15.5 million base value in 2025. He reportedly is seeking in excess of $30 million per season. Speaking on the “Pat McAfee Show” this week, Schefter said McLaurin and the Commanders remain far apart on an extension.
Before McLaurin reportedly requested to be traded, the New England Patriots were believed to be “very interested” in the two-time Pro Bowler. The 29-year-old has eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving in each of the last five seasons.
