Minicamps kicked off around the NFL<\/a> this week, and some big names were no-shows, including a couple of disgruntled AFC North pass rushers in T.J. Watt<\/a> and Trey Hendrickson<\/a>. Perhaps no name, however, was bigger among the holdouts than Washington Commanders<\/a> wide receiver Terry McLaurin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the NFL’s<\/a> steadiest pass catchers, McLaurin is fresh off his first career All-Pro nod, logging a fifth straight season with at least 75 catches and 1,000 yards to lead Washington’s offense. He was an instant favorite of Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels<\/a>. And apparently he’s majorly disconnected from Washington’s otherwise heralded front office as he enters the final year of his current contract.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to envision the Commanders doing anything but ultimately meeting McLaurin’s demands, given their win-now approach around Daniels. The wideout is also justified in his efforts to seek a pay raise, as his $23.2 million average annual value now ranks outside the top 15 at his position.<\/p>\n

On the off chance general manager Adam Peters prefers to sell McLaurin, perhaps as part of a trade for another wideout to pair with offseason addition Deebo Samuel<\/a>, these clubs could be top suitors:<\/p>\n

Are the Raiders one wideout away from contending? No, probably not. But when you turn the keys over to a 34-year-old quarterback (Geno Smith<\/a>) and 73-year-old coach (Pete Carroll), you’re clearly interested in making the most of 2025. And they could use a pass-catching complement for star tight end Brock Bowers<\/a>. Better yet, they have money to offer McLaurin, boasting $36 million in remaining salary cap space, plus a whopping $95 million in 2026.<\/p>\n

Jim Harbaugh has prioritized old-school toughness in building the Bolts, adding not one but two bruising running backs in Najee Harris<\/a> and Omarion Hampton<\/a> this offseason. What better way to finish constructing a firm infrastructure for Justin Herbert<\/a> than by reeling in a legitimate field-stretcher to pair with route-running extraordinaire Ladd McConkey<\/a>? The Chargers still have close to $27 million in remaining cap space going into 2025.<\/p>\n

Like the Raiders, the Jets aren’t necessarily angling to contend in 2025 as much as successfully transition to a new culture and regime. They have money to spare, however, with close to $38 million in remaining cap space, plus a relatively dire need for pass-catching weapons opposite Garrett Wilson<\/a>. As a bonus, new quarterback Justin Fields<\/a> shares an Ohio State background with McLaurin, and Jets passing game coordinator Scott Turner was previously McLaurin’s play-caller in Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Minicamps kicked off around the NFL this week, and some big names were no-shows, including a couple of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":119105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2069],"tags":[797,427,1705,7,2310,1507,734,493,1159,470,393,262,4125,255,6,288,5226,7186,1503,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-119104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-brock-bowers","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-deebo-samuel","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-garrett-wilson","13":"tag-geno-smith","14":"tag-jayden-daniels","15":"tag-justin-fields","16":"tag-justin-herbert","17":"tag-ladd-mcconkey","18":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","19":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","20":"tag-najee-harris","21":"tag-new-york-jets","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-omarion-hampton","24":"tag-t-j-watt","25":"tag-terry-mclaurin","26":"tag-trey-hendrickson","27":"tag-washington","28":"tag-washington-commanders","29":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114660016512920981","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
