Terry McLaurin "Not Happy" with Extension Negotiations with Commanders

Let the contract standoffs ahead of and during training camp begin. So far this offseason, McLaurin’s impasse with the Commanders is easily the highest-profile conflict in fantasy land – especially with Scary Terry coming off his best season as a pro and a WR7 overall finish in 2024. It’s obviously early in the game with the entire months of July and August yet to play out, but it’s a situation worth watching given the effect that McLaurin’s absence would have on Washington’s offense in 2025. Should McLaurin wind up holding out at all, WR Deebo Samuel and TE Zach Ertz would be the first players who would stand to benefit, with Deebo becoming particularly interesting given the fact that his current ADP resides outside the Top-36. And while Jayden Daniels would likely be able to survive for a potential stretch of games without Mclaurin earlier in the year thanks to his rushing, his bottom line could very well be much lower without his top target from last season in the fold. McLaurin hauled in 13 touchdowns last season (more than half of the 25 Daniels tossed), so any games missed would be less than ideal –but until we actually see McLaurin in street clothes at practice or on the sideline during games, fantasy managers should rest without worrying about a holdout spilling into the regular season at this time.
