Report: Terry McLaurin has requested a trade from the Washington Commanders - Hogs Haven
The Washington Commanders and Terry McLaurin have not been able to resolve their contract dispute and now their #1 WR has requested a trade per multiple sources. The Commanders have reportedly been offering less than $30 million per year while McLaurin is seeking more than that. He is on the final year of his last contract extension, and he’s looking to secure his future.
Commanders’ situation with WR Terry McLaurin goes from bad to worse - PhillyVoice
Aside from any unknown unreasonable contract demands, there seems to only be one sticking point not to sign McLaurin to a contract extension — He turns 30 in September. Normally, age might be a logical concern for a front office when considering an extension. However, it doesn’t make much logical sense for a Commanders team that, by my count, signed, traded for, or re-signed 20 (!) players who are either already 30+ years of age or who will turn 30 by the time the Super Bowl is played in February of 2026. They also currently employ a staggering 31 players who are at least 29 years of age or older, by far the most in the NFL. (No other team has 20 players who are 29+ years old.)

49ERS: After a 6-11 season caused — in part — by a number of devastating injuries, the 49ers are feeling the pressure to produce in 2025. They’ve paid Brock Purdy, cleared some cap space by trading away Deebo Samuel and expect Christian McCaffrey to back to his game-breaking self this season. The current state of their receiving corps, however, is giving them cause for concern. Their $30 million-per-year receiver Brandon Aiyuk doesn’t have a clear timetable to return from a season-ending knee injury suffered in 2024, leaving them with veteran Jauan Jennings and second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall as their top two options. McLaurin would fill out the group nicely and buy them plenty of time to be patient with Aiyuk while trotting out a threatening offense. Plus, after San Francisco sent Samuel to Washington to team up with McLaurin, the narrative crafted by a return shipment of McLaurin to the Bay Area would just be too juicy to ignore.
Micah Parsons’ cryptic ‘One Last Time’ tweet sends Cowboys fans spiraling - SI
Parsons quoted a tweet from Cowboys content creator “J Tuck,” which read, “I’m prepared to burn this app down.” The original message included a photo of Parsons and All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs laughing it up in training camp practice. What started the social media frenzy was Parsons reposting the message, adding his own GIF of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence with the caption, “One last time.”
