After skipping mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute, there could be a price of 30 million per season, which is like the price range that Terry McLaurin is probably looking for. According to the report<\/a>, many sources believe McLaurin will ask for at least in the range of $30 million per season in his next contract. It\u2019s easy to see why he wants to be one of the highest-paid in the league after leading this pass-catching unit in touchdowns last season and helping second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a> feel comfortable in the driver\u2019s seat this offseason. Even without an adequate quarterback in Washington, it didn\u2019t stop McLaurin from putting in the work to become a reliable weapon for the Commanders.<\/p>\n

Originally selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the former Ohio State product may miss NFL Training Camp if it comes down to waiting for the right deal. The asking price might be what\u2019s holding the Commanders back from agreeing on an idea. Despite trading for Deebo Samuel<\/a> this offseason, the team can\u2019t afford to lose their top contributor of this offseason, who has been a crucial part of Daniels\u2019 growth within this offense. However, things might happen where a trade could be possible if the two parties can\u2019t come to a closure in time for preparation before the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

If he doesn\u2019t sign a new contract with Washington, it shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone if he ends up requesting a trade instead and signs a long-term deal with these two teams.<\/p>\n

\nRUMOR: \u201c30 Million\u201d Could Be Asking Price for Superstar Playmaker Terry McLaurin \u2013 Chargers, Patriots Top Best Fits
\nLong-Term Insurance for Herbert<\/p>\n

This would be a groundbreaking moment for the Los Angeles Chargers if they could get a chance to land someone like McLaurin. The Chargers might have weapons that will keep them alive in ball games, but what they need is a reliable difference-maker that\u2019s going to help quarterback Justin Herbert become a leader, and the disgruntled wide receiver could do just that in Los Angeles. Between Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, Mike Williams and Ladd McConkey<\/a>, there are at least 2\/4 weapons that could somehow produce a lot of results to move the chains.<\/p>\n

Harris is untested and is still adjusting to NFL life. However, Johnston is on thin ice<\/a>; he could get cut if he doesn\u2019t improve in his third year in the league. With the addition of McLaurin, they wouldn\u2019t have to worry about the state of their wide receiver room for the time being, which helps McConkey at the end of the day since he made first real impression in his rookie year.<\/p>\n

New Life, New England<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the New England Patriots are, for the first time, building a new reliable regime that might last for a decade under head coach Mike Vrabel since the Bill Belichick Era. Despite signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins<\/a> in attempts to solidify this passing game, there is still a ton of competition in that room. Between Kendrick Bourne<\/a>, Javon Baker, Demario Douglas<\/a> and Ja\u2019Lynn Polk, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s job up for grabs. While most may land on the practice squad, they should get another WR1 to help Diggs in the aerial attack to support quarterback Drake Maye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After skipping mandatory minicamp due to a contract dispute, there could be a price of 30 million per…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[5403,1705,7,7352,2453,5859,1167,249,726,2326,2094,6,208,531,7186,10421],"class_list":{"0":"post-157228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-chargers-featured","9":"tag-deebo-samuel","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-kendrick-bourne","12":"tag-los-angeles-chargers-news","13":"tag-mike-williams","14":"tag-new-england","15":"tag-new-england-patriots","16":"tag-new-england-patriots-news","17":"tag-newengland","18":"tag-newenglandpatriots","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-patriots","21":"tag-stefon-diggs","22":"tag-terry-mclaurin","23":"tag-washington-commanders-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114743814858193697","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157228","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=157228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
