With the Washington Commanders’ 2026 schedule released, the team is looking to bounce back after a regression in 2025 on both sides of the ball. As Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels looks to lead in the offseason to an explosive 2026 season, one player on offense that will be key is wide receiver Terry McLaurin, as the new offensive coordinator already has big plans.

Former quarterback and now Washington offensive coordinator David Blough had said earlier in the year that he wants to give McLaurin 10 targets a game. Let’s just say that McLaurin loves hearing that and expresses how good a relationship the 30-year-0ld and the coach have already.

“I love that. He told me that way back in February. He texted me that…and he’s been a man of his word,” McLaurin said, via JP Finlay. “And my job is to prove that each and every day, when we’re having workouts, to be the leader, to be someone who you can count on to be on the field and make plays, and it’s all I’ve been asking for, that’s all I want, so to win games and have a big part of that. So I was definitely smiling when I saw that come across his phone, and from OTAs and stuff, I could definitely tell that’s going to be a part of it, along with the other guys as well, there’s going to be opportunities for me to take away coverage.”

Terry McLaurin and the Commanders look to have a bounce-back season

McLaurin would continue talking about how “cool” the Commanders’ offense will look, as the receiver this past season recorded 582 yards on 38 catches and three touchdowns in 10 games.

At any rate, McLaurin, Daniels, Blough, and the rest of Washington look to improve after the team finished with a 5-12 record, which put them third in the NFC East, a year removed after reaching the NFC title game and winning the division.
