Terry McLaurin not expected to report to Commanders minicamp while seeking extension

Terry McLaurin is skipping Washington's mandatory minicamp as part of his ongoing contract negotiation efforts, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. He has a history of standout performance since being drafted in 2019, with consistent 1,000-yard seasons. McLaurin previously signed a three-year, $68.2 million extension in 2022, but is seeking a new contract before the 2025 season, as he's currently second highest-paid on the team behind Deebo Samuel. At 30, McLaurin is prioritizing his health and looking to maximize his earning potential, as fines loom for missing the minicamp.
